Replying to: I got less to do! Sorry, my clinical trial is not over with by any means. I am still on it. My hair is white or almost so anyhow. I had scans done on this past Mon. They came back as "stable". Stable is good! My last blood work showed an increase in calcitonin going from around 4100 to nearly 4800, so I am still concerned with that, but I will take stable. CEA though dropped from 42 to 41. Side affects are still...

Replying to: stage 4 B I am so sorry to read such sad news. You and your wife will be in my prayers and my prayer for your wife is... she will have a miracle cure. I am the general lurker, but you really touched my heart. God bless you both.

Replying to: I guess I asked for this... Thank you, Pilgrimgirl66 (Angie). Today is a good day, I guess, eh? Day before yesterday in that meeting/consultation with the Pulmonologist, I was not so good. It'll be interesting as to how I feel tomorrow after the Biopsy. But I will be on here later in the day, none the less. Kinda feels good that when I registered on here, got an account, then a profile, I browsed around and even replied to...

Replying to: lung cancer My dear better 2010 You should remember every day how lucky you were that you found out about your Cancer in time to be alive right now, I also had a Lobe Removed June 2006 and perfectly understand how you feel, but my friend cheer up and try to leave your pain behind an live every new day as a new happy day.
