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 of you faced the tomorrow I am facing. Any enlightenment or words of encouragement would certainly be timely right around now.

My mom recently passed away from Stage 4 lung cancer. She had extensive chemotherapy, but continued to smoke. You need to surround yourself with family and friends! extra TLC and support will help ease the pain. My heartfelt prayers are with you~GOD BLESS

Bobbie,
As yore going through chemo and radation, bear in mind that the success to beating this cancer is going to be "integrative" therapy. Don't underesitmate the power of "dieting". Your diet has to be low in sugar, carbohydrtaes and proteins. Here is a link to a recent article I wrote: http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/...

Live everyday to the fullest as we all should and enjoy life.Keep pushing on. Christine

Bobbi, I now its a dark place for you but just recently I attended a relay for life and one thing that struck me very surprizingly. Is this when you are diagnosed during the day its shock then the as all of us walk around the course we realize as darkness comes this represents the time when your going through treatment and your afraid and unsure but as the dawn comes it represents hope and life after cancer when the light of day clearly comes through.
