Not much of a birthday present. Going to hospital tomorrow for P.E.T Scan, then to second cancer doctor Tues. to find out results and options available, I have been reading a lot just trying to get an idea of what is in store for me. Probably reading too much at times, making myself worry to much. Anyway I found this site and was inspired by some of the stories I have been reading and feel like maybe there is hope. This past Friday I had a Bronchoscophy and Mediastineoscoposcy sorry not sure of spelling to get bioposy's thats where the prelim reports indicate NSCLC. Which is the lesser of the two eviles NSCLC or SCLC? Well hope to hear from you take care and God bless. Gill. Bama Guy Wed, 13 Oct 2004 00:00:00 GMT Gill, I would like to talk to you. I am married to a wonderful man and he has been diagnosed with squamus cell carcinoma of the neck and tonsil. We have done all the scans and blood work. We are very new at this and love to hear sucessful survivor stories. What is NSCLC? I am mainly needing to talk and learn. We have only been married for 10 months, and he has just started radiation treatments. Still has five weeks to go. We are in our 50's and we were Jr. High sweethearts years ago. I will tell you our story if you are interested. Just let me know. I can only tell you what the Doctors have done so far and how things are being handled. Darla K. Marlya53 Fri, 15 Oct 2004 00:00:00 GMT Hi Gill. You should go to www.lchelp.com. It is a very active board. You should introduce yourself (you can use this same introduction you posted here) in the topics "Non Small Cell" and post it again in the "General" section. You will get a lot of answers! This cancercompass board is not active at all. Alisa B. Tue, 26 Oct 2004 00:00:00 GMT HI! My name is Jen. My sister is fighting Cancer For two years. Now they gave the worse news ever.
