Diane521 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hi, I just found this site. I am a 31/2 year breast cancer survivor and was just diagnosed with sclc in July, 2004, (new primary). I just finished chemo (Etoposide and Carboplatin) and am now waiting the next 3 weeks to see if my cancer has gone into remission. I'm married (20 years to Lee)and have a daughter who lives in Arizona and a married son who lives in Minnesota. Please keep your posts coming--they are so informative and I enjoy reading them daily.

SJAS Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hi Diane, Glad you found your way to us, but sorry you have to go down the cancer path again. I usually just have enough time to get to NSCLC and General, so maybe I'll catch up with you again there. Looking forward to getting to know more about you.

Donna G Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hi Dianne, I live here in Minnesota also. If you live near the Twin Cities , our live group is meeting today at 1pm at Regions Hospital, St Paul, in the Minnesota Room just outside the cafeteria. We would love to meet you. Welcome to this on line community. I am sure you will get lots of support here. Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloesmom Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Diane, I also welcome you to the group. I'm a 3.5 year breast cancer survivor as well and was diagnosed and treated for nsclc (new primary) in June of 2003. We also have another breast ca/lung cancer survivor on the board--I'm sure you will be hearing from her. I guess it's not as unusual as I had thought at one time to have cancer twice -- and the best part--survive twice!!!!! Keep up the good work and good luck to you!!!!

SharKats Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hello Diane, It's nice to "meet" - I just wish it could have been under better circumstances - like bumping into you at the mall during a super sale. This is a wonderful, caring and supportive group of people. I am currently battling recurrent extensive sclc and I can't tell you how much the encouragement and kindness I receive from these people mean to me. You will feel the same. God bless you!
