I'm sorry for ur mets
I hope mine doesn't decide to move. That's all our fears. Whyare the drs so negative about ur outcome? Maybe second opion? I have a very aggressive form of breast cancer and my doc tells me I will be his masterpiece. Sorry not able to help with ur question. CSN does have a disscussion board for lung cancer. Maybe that would help you too. Positive energy to you Katz0 -
Hello, I am so sorry that
Hello, I am so sorry that your cancer has spread, I know the news is devastating. I know this because my cancer has also spread to my liver, abdomen and bones. So far, not to my lungs. My doctor also did not sound very promising, but i have been back on chemo for 4 weeks and I am not in as much pain anymore, so the tumor is shrinking. Has your doctor offered any treatment plan? I was originally diagnosed in July 2008. Please, do not give up and come here for information and let us know how you are. How old are you, and what city do you live in? I am 54 and I live in Philadelphia, PA.0 -

I am so sorry. This is what we all fear and think of a lot. Why are the doctors not positive? I agree with Katz, maybe, get a 2nd opinion?
Praying for you,

Hi All,
So far, my cancer has been behaving and has not spread. However a woman in my support group has bc which has spread to her lungs. She has been doing great for seven years so far! Whenever it gets growing again, they try something else and she's fine again. New treatments are coming out. 2 just came out and more are behind that. Stay positive no matter what the "experts" say. If they knew everything, they would have a cure already wouldn't they? I have lots more long term survivor stories if you need them. Screw the experts! We're all alive right now....let's enjoy today. Who knows what tomorrow will bring for anyone, even those without bc. Hugs and hope to all my bc sister.

Rosann is right, there is a lot out there now so just because one doctor doesn't sound hopeful doesn't mean a thing!
I read the book by Lance Armstrong. His cancer had spread yet he beat it and is as healthy as ever. Same with Joel Olsteen's mom. They gave her 2 weeks to live, that was like 20 years ago!
Praying for you!!

I can't think of one reason you're doctor should be anything BUT optimistic. If he/she isn't, then I'm onboard with the others that say it's time to get another opinion. You are living the nightmare that none of us want, but there are alot of good treatments out "there", and one is just right for you. AND, there are alot of long term survivors with lung mets and more, and they are doing just fine.
Hang tight, proudmom, and know that prayers for strength and courage are on the way.0
