Steph Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your wonderful words and encouragement. I spoke to my insurance company and they agreed that is urgent for me to get a second opinion. My hospital is Cedar's Sinai and they are sending me to UCLA. Although I'm trying to be optomistic...I still have that fear of the unknown. I have spent the last couple of days reading your posts and I am inspired by the courage that each and everyone of you show. Keep up the good fight:) Thanks again, Love, Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Steph- That's just great that you will get your second opinion! I know that apprehensive feeling, believe me! Hopefully, you will come away from your appt. better armed to fight this disease!! God bless - Terrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Steph! It's easier to be afraid of the unknown than the known...it happens to all of us. Remember my dear.....If your second opinion doesn't suit you - get a third and a fourth or even a fifth....because you should NEVER GIVE UP! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Love and hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdaW Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Dear Steph, Who is your doctor at Cedar Sinai? FYI, Dr. Ronald B. Natale is listed as a top Lung Cancer specialist in my book, America's Top Doctors, which is a Castle Connolly Guide--just in case you decide to go back to Cedar Sinai for treatment if you need it. Good luck Steph, Ada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Hi, we all know the fear that you are feeling. A second opinion can help take away some of that fear. The more you know, the better you can handle this thing. I'll be sending positive wishes your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
