Guest Brenda B Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Thank you all for the encouragment and support. Today we were told that it NSCLC, stage 3B, it is affecting his windpipe, his main artery and both lungs, so surgery is not an option. They have said he has 9 months without treatment and 1 1/2 years with treatment. Thanks again.... i am sure we will chat more in the months to come. Brenda Quote
Connie B Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Dear Brenda, I have to tell you about several people that were told they had months or a year or so to live and low and behold YEARS later they are still here! We will just KEEP THE HOPE and hope that treatments will shrink his tumors. (IT CAN HAPPEN)! I had a gentleman come to my Lung Cancer Support Group (he had SCLC) and they told him he had 6 months to live. Well, he said he quit his job and traveled around the world. When he came to our Support Group, he had been around the world twice and he was a 2 year lung cancer survivor. He was looking to go back to work and get back to the (NORM) so to speak of living life a new! I'm sorry to say, he never came back to our group, and I don't know the outcome, but he was doing very well when we saw him. Keep the Faith my dear! You and your step-dad are in my thoughts and prayers. Warm and Gentle Hugs, Quote
