LouT Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Hi Jim, Welcome to our forums. Glad you found us but sorry you need to be here. There is a wide spectrum of survivors here NSC, SC, gene driven, etc. I'm sure you'll be hearing from some of these folks soon. I would still like to share some information that may help you along your (and your wife's) journey. This is an important blog by one of our long-time survivors who was diagnosed at Stage 3 then Stage 4 and 19 years later was declared "cured". It's titled "10 Steps to Surviving Lung Cancer; from a Survivor". In addition to Tom's story Lungevity has a section titled "Lung Cancer 101" which has a plethora of information from why lung cancer happens to diagnosis, treatment, and other important information. Finally...having spent over 3 years as a caregiver I have some knowledge of how tough it can be. We have a section called "Caregiver Resource Center" you can post there and peruse to understand how others before you coped with this difficult disease. I look forward to hearing more from you and hope you find the support you are looking for here. Lou Tom Galli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
