sbarnes1963 replied to sbarnes1963's discussion This is for you..."Mission accomplished! I ran the 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles) and it took me 2 hours & 28 minutes but I made it :) My daughter wrote on the back of my shirt "In Loving Memory of My Sister Linda, battle lost 3-7-12". As I…"

John H MOD replied to birdlady053's discussion Getting results from pet scan tomorrow"Hi Victoria , I was just diagnosed with COPD andim also a 3A NSCLC. I think id go with infection unless and until you have proof positive of what it is. I would also be looking and thinking of a second opinion. I mean if they can't tell you 100…"
GADawg/MOD replied to Toad's discussion New to this forum."Todd, what Maribeth said is right on the money. You are just getting started on this ride, so don't throw in the towel yet. My mom is a 6 1/2 year stage IV survivor. Hang in there!

Maribeth Wall replied to Toad's discussion New to this forum."Hi Todd - Sorry to hear about your latest set back. I am a five year stage 4 nslc survivor and I can't tell you how many times you are going along all fine and dandy and then the stupid cancer wants to remind me it is still there.…"
Toad replied to Toad's discussion New to this forum."Hi Holly. My local oncologist was ready to start me off with
carbo/taxol but my 2nd opinion doctors at Ma General changed
it to cisplatin etc. I guess they felt that was my best chance for
a cure. I have a close friend who had a horrible time with…"
Toad replied to Toad's discussion New to this forum."John, the waiting has definately been the worst part
of this whole experience. For the most part I am happy
with my doctors but I am amazed at how busy the
cancer centers are, at how many others have this disease.
I am encoutaged by survivors like…"
"Todd,
My husband had a recurrence after no activity, almost a year later. He had a Brain Met. He underwent Cyber Knife Surgery for that, and 6 months later they found another Brain Met. He had Cyber Knife Surgery again...that was in November 2010.…"
John H MOD replied to Toad's discussion New to this forum."Hi Todd, I am a twelve year 3A NSCLC . Please believe me you are still in the game. The waiting is always brutal. I try to live today for today. You can't change what has already happened NPR what's to be. Keep pushing the docs for…"
John H MOD replied to Maribeth Wall's discussion M.S. and NSLC stage IV"Maribeth, as you know , you have a great attitude. I have always said it is better to laugh than cry. I just can't get around the situation you have. I use the serenity prayer a lot in my life. You can only change some things in your life. The…"
Toad replied to Toad's discussion New to this forum."Thank you guys for your comments. Unfortunately the biopsy results were positive. Both the original mass and the suspicious node. I had been doing so well, and feeling good. I thought maybe I had licked this thing but I guess not. In fact far from…"
Maribeth Wall replied to Maribeth Wall's discussion M.S. and NSLC stage IV"Thanks John - I had my crying jags last weekend and earlier this week. I am still in disbelief over it all. Having one serious illness but to add a second one seems hard to imagine. I meet with the neurologist this past…"
John H MOD replied to Maribeth Wall's discussion M.S. and NSLC stage IV"Oh I'm so sorry Maribeth. Congrats on the 5 yr anniversary ! I can only sympathize with you on the MS. li
In for a penny , in for a pound I guess. You know you survived cancer so now you are fair game for any other life threatening disease that…"
Maribeth Wall replied to John H MOD's discussion A new battle - COPD"That is good news to hear John. It is amazing how 30 days can seem like a lifetime away but praying the scar tissue is just scar tissue and everything will be cleared up by end of June.
