  • Beginning the journey

    Monday, April 27, 2009 | An Anxious story

    Well, this is my first entry. Very apprehensive as I begin my treatments tomorrow. Up to now I have been pretty much soaking in information with lots of "this could happen" type of stuff. Now it will go from could to "is". The treatments of aggressive radiation along with two types of chemo with it leave me discouraged. Making the decision to fight is difficult. I am sure many...

  • Chemo cocktail not working

    Tuesday, September 29, 2009 | An Anxious story

    Today was my scheduled day for chemo.  Based upon my last CT Scan, the tumors are not responding.  The liver tumor is still the same size, and there are 2 additional tumors in the liver.  This is very disappointing news.  Dr. Nse told me many times this morning how disappointed he was and how he had hoped that it had reduced the size of the tumors.  He wants to stop the c...

  • Preventative Radiology

    Thursday, November 5, 2009 | An Anxious story

     
    Has anyone out there had preventative radiation of the brain after being treated for lung cancer? How'd it go & what were the side effects? I need to decide if I'm going to have this done.
