vlnorth43, I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

I totally agree with you. I don’t look like I have cancer either … I guess before I was diagnosed, I thought people with cancer had no hair and were gaunt. My hair got burned and frizzy, but I didn’t lose it … and I’ve done nothing but gain weight since my diagnosis…

I’ve heard some…

It’s good that your dad’s team is in watch and wait with the new regimen. I gather this is why the team will do another scan in March to see if the new treatment is making improvements.

The most irritating to me was “Did you smoke?” If I had HIV would you ask “Are you gay”. There are lots of people that have never smoked that get lung cancer!
