Guest Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Hi, I'm new to writing to sites so I hope this is the correct path. Have read several messages by others an am glad to have found this site. I am an x smoker. Quit 35 years ago when we found out it was not a good thing. Diagnosed with stage 1 NSCLC, went to surgery last June and came out stage 2. Lymph nodes involved. Had chem and rad till the end of Oct. Ct scan in Nov resulted in being told am in remission. Can relate to those who spoke of being unable to get self going again. Getting better and will have another PET scan as soon as the MBA's say I can. Would like to be of help to any one else if I can. I am 73 years old and retired RN. Have a spouse, three adult children, another two adult children who are extended family. A positive from this experience is that I learned how much they love me. Also have two grandkids, boy and a girl, 7 and 5. Hollyjean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NellW Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Good to hear from you! I am new also, and my first post is a couple of posts down and titled "new with??". It tells what we are going through with a dear friend. Can you tell me how your recovery from surgery went? If you read my post you will know what sorts of things we are wondering about. My friend is nsclc stage 2b with lymph involvement. Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to Bob and his wife Jo's tonight to listen to the audio tape of the surgeons visit last Thursday tonight. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
