Hi all! My chemotherapy continues - every 4 weeks. I will remain on this particular drug indefinitely as long as the cancer continues to respond. It will not kill "the Beast" but it will slow it down. November was a rough month - side effects galore. So far, this month has been OK. Never know from month-to-month what my response will be. Am just glad it was better than last month! There is always something to be grateful for, and I am grateful for each day I'm given. I may not go out partying, but I enjoy it as much as I can. No guarantees that tomorrow will come - for any of us!
I refuse to say "Happy Holidays", though that is what almost everyone is saying this year. Fa-geddaba-it! It's Christmas, not Xmas. So, I wish you a very wonderful, healthy, and blessed Christmas surrounded by people who love & care about you! My next CT scan will be at the very end of this month. I'll let you all know the results. I am still here!!! love - me

My Story
After tearing my right shoulder rotator cuff, the Doctor took an MRI and X-Ray. I was shocked to find out in mid-Nov '09 that I had a tumor in the upper right lung lobe. After a flurry of tests, biopsies, etc, I've been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer, which is also in the lung lymph nodes. On November 30th I start chemotherapy and radiation. Then a 3 week break, followed by surgery to remove the lung lobe. I have no symptoms whatsoever, so this is really hard to assimilate with all the information that has been thrown at me. I'm scared spitless and am having such a hard time staying mentally positive.
