My name is Deb and Ive been on D.S. for quite a while now for Hep C but now I just got diagnosed with Lung cancer and had surgery to have these scopes put down my neck they cut my throat open to do so, and it hurts like hell. I realize that some of you may be way ahead of me in your tx, and was hoping that someone can tell me there's hope of surviving this or should I prepare myself for the worst. Thanks for any advice. debbie

I'm 57 and have Stage IV lung cancer. you can read back through my journal and see my progress. I did the chemo and radiation when diagnosed in 2008 - lost my hair - but didn't lose my determination. I am grateful for each day and thank God I am stilll alive. It is not hopeless - just a bump in your path. Keep me posted if you have any questions.

Afternoon,
Have been fighting this battle since Feb. '09. Had lobetomy,biopsy proved Stage 3a adenocarcinoma, chemo and radiation and am still here doing great, feeling great thanks to my God. I thank him twice a day, when I awake, and when I go to sleep. Just ask for moments of peace, and God will deliver, maybe even more than you ask for...may God bless and be with you.

Never prepare for the worst - always prepare for the best! I was siagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer in 4/08 - was told I had abut 6 weeks if I took no action. So I did - chemo to the lung and radiation to the brain. It was not easy - but I had nothing to lose. I am still working and looking forward to tomorrow. I am taking no treatmnt at the moment but am open for it should it become necessary. Live your life - don't delay! Good luck - my prayers are with you.
