He is just such a sweet man......so in love with that little girl of his. It just breaks my heart.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi Jim,I have heard a lot of other peoples story's about someone with cancerand they are very encouraging. what kind of lung cancer did you have?I unfortunately can't have radiation because the cancer has spread to all areas of both lungsthe type of cancer I have can not be cured by chemo but hopefully will slow it down somethanks for sharing jim and I wish you well alsoBRETTBrett.......for what it's worth.........my lung cancer was found prior to stage 4. I had chemo and radiation........was scared to death of the chemo, turned out to be a walk in the park. The only side effect I experienced was hair loss.....and it grew back. One of the phenomenon that is part of the "having-cancer-package" is people coming out of the woodwork with alternative cures and treatments, and wanting to share their experiences with you.......as I have done here . I am 4 years clean now. I wish you well !! jimHi Brett, It is good to see you posting. I am still amazed at all you have been through and are still facing. God knew what he was doing giving you such perfect Sunshine covered with honey.Still praying for you. How are your brothers doing ? <Sun Flower.gif>Love and Prayers, Peggy IPF 2004, Florida"Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up." Brett Bowserbrett@...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Let's see if I can remember.......the first word was the scariest......metastatic, non-small cell, carcinoma, favor lung primary. It is because of that 1st word that I'll never use the word "cured". One day at a time, Brother. Hi Brett, It is good to see you posting. I am still amazed at all you have been through and are still facing. God knew what he was doing giving you such perfect Sunshine covered with honey. Still praying for you.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 May ,8-months ago when I had my first vats to dx my IPFthere was, on the ct. scans a few nodules here and their around my lungs with a bigger area of opacity in the left upper lobe and lower lobe now when they did the first vats they did take a small peace of that left upper lobe and it was sent to a lung tissue consortium in colorado and looked at and they also said it was just UIPso we left everything at that thinking all the spots on the ct.'s were just fibrosis so then I was waiting around for this clinical trial to start (panther trial) , because I would have to get ct.'s pft's blood work the whole work up when I enrolled and that's when I got bad pain in my chest (left upper side)went and got a new ct. done and the spots had grown almost 3-times the size they were 6-months earlierso they did a bronch and that came back as negative as wellthe doctors were still concerned about the growth of all these areas so the decision was made to do one more vats three weeks ago today this time they took wedge resections (bigger pcs.) and found that in the middle of these areas was cancerBRETTbretti had been wondering what they said at your appointment and amvery shattered to hear that is what they are thinking. it justseems amazing that none of this was seen when you had your vatsnot that long ago. i will be praying they are wrong and you areright. much lovemay> > > Hi Brett, It is good to see you posting.
