"Hi Sjgraves, I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Statistics are just statistics and don't necessarily apply to individual situations. So don't give up hope! My mom was told 2-5 years at her diagnosis, then a month later they changed…"

AmyLCA replied to Sjgraves's discussion I would like to introduce myself
"Hi sjgraves,  Cancer can be a truly overwhelming experience for both patients as well as caregivers. Has he started treatment? Can you tell us a little bit about what his treatments are or what else you know about his lung cancer? Amy"
Monday
AmyLCA commented on Rowland's blog post Cancer Reappeared
"Hi Rowland, Carbo/Taxol/Avastin is a pretty standard combination of drugs, so hopefully others will chime in. I think Taxol is more associated with peripheral neuropathy than Alimta, so if you start to feel any tingling in your hands or feet, talk…"

Kiki. replied to John H MOD's discussion Chemo and long term effects
