Thank you, so much for this information. It makes it so much easier to tolerate and understand what I go through each day. It’s been 2 years since my last chemo and radiation treatments, but I still have side effects. Depression is always lurking, and not helped by the financial drain that fighting lung cancer also brings. Job loss, reduction in…

I don’t really have a problem talking about it. When I first discust my cancer with my family, friends and neighbors they all said it was my smoking. Then when I told them it was 9/11 cancer they all remembered I was at the pile. It’s not always easy talking about it, cause I don’t really talk about that time. My lady was mad I was even down…

I have heard all of the stories about people’s friends and relatives that have died. I think the most difficult is friends and family thinking I am cured and the ordeal is over with because I had chemo, radiation, and surgery. They have no idea how I still struggle to breath, or worry just before my next scan. I would love to believe that it i…

I can really indentify with you, I am stage IV adeno and Aug of this year is 8 years since diagnosis. I am currently at almost 2 years since end of treatment. I really get extremely stressed starting about 2 weeks before the scan, which is every 6 months. I did have a scan that showed progression at about 4 1/2 years and it really is the worse…

I think the days before a scan are so stressful. I can barely function sometimes because it is always on my mind. Depending on that scan, your whole life can change. I have recently asked my dr to give me a 3 day prescription for xanax and I explained why. They just do not think in the same terms we do. He did say of course I will. So, I take one…
