Hello all, my mother had a lung x-ray yesterday, after having health problems for several months. The doctor looked very concerned when he returned with the results and told her she needed a CT scan as soon as possible. I know this sounds devoid of emotion, but I'm so numb. Please if anyone can just say that there have been survivors tell me! My mother and I have such a close relationship, this all feels like a bad dream. Help... |

Yes there are survivors!!! In every stage of cancer people are beating this disease. Hang in there and remember to ask all the questions you can think of. Write a list of them and learn everything you can. The more information you and your mom have, the better the odds of beating this disease! Good luck!

Hi Joys Daughter, I'm a long time lung cancer surviver, I had it in my left lung in 1987 and again in my right lung in 1991. It was different cancers, the first time was adenocarcinoma and the second timewas large cell. I now have 1/2 of my left lung and not quite 3/4 of my right lung. I lead a very normal life. Lung cancer is not always a death sentence any more, so don't get too scared until you get the report on the ct scan. If it is caught early enough she stands a real good chance, and they have so many different chemos now and radiation. If you need to talk further email me at jodnns@aol.com
