Hi Frank,
I too, would like to welcome you to this board of amazing people. You will find great support and invaluable information along the way. I was 41 when I was diagnosed, and that was almost 6 years ago. Feisty and red headed what power!!! That attitude will get her and you a long way. Keep us updated on your progress and know I am sending hugs and prayers your way!
MelindaDear Jessica,
I am sorry to hear of your mother’s diagnosis, but happy that you have found this group. Please know that you have great support in this group. We are here to help in anyway we can. You are an awesome daughter for all you do, and I am sure your mother is so proud of you. I am sorry you lost your father, I can’t tell you how much I HATE cancer. Please keep us updated on your mom, and know that I am sending hugs and prayers your way.
MelindaChristine,
I also ended up with spots on my lungs 3 months after my resection. Like Barb, I also had a VATS procedure done at that time to confirm metastasis. I think it is worth knowing for sure that is what it is, and if genetic testing has not been done yet, that would be a great time to send in a sample for profiling. Please don’t lose heart, lungs are a very common place for metastasis, but still can be treated. Hang in there, sending hugs and prayers your way.
MelindaAwesome news!!! Thanks for the update! Keep us updated on your dad’s progress. Hugs and prayers to you and your dad.
MelindaKathy,
I will keep you in my prayers. I also have lung mets that showed up 3 months after my resection. Stay strong and go for the trial, Praying for minimal side effects, as a mother of 6 , I know how hard it is to fight sickness and still be a mommy. Sending hugs your way!
MelindaNever give up hope! Almost 6 years for me……so much hope coming in the future research and treatments. Thanks for posting and giving others hope….we are all in this together.
MelindaCongratulations Katrina on the good news, shrinkage and stable, such great words to hear! Keep up the good work, and as one who has lost her hair 3 different times, don’t let it get to you, I agree with Lainy, a nice scarf or hat makes a huge difference. If you are just thinning….check into some clip in hair extensions…I just met a gal who had lost her hair and it was coming in patchy so she bought some hair extensions from Sally’s Beauty supply, clipped them in and put on a hat and WOW, she looked awesome! Take care!
MelindaOh Barbara, how I wish I could be there!!! It sounds amazing and I am sure it will be a huge success. Sending my love and hugs to you and Rob. It is such an honor to have gotten an opportunity to get to know both of you! Please shake your booty for me on the dance floor, and know I am there is spirit……thank you both so much for all you do!
MelindaAlejandro,

MelindaDear Lucky 2,
Xeloda and Cisplatin are not the same….you can search them here on the discussion boards and will see many, many posts about both. The search tool is at the top of the page by the login.
Also look through this section (Chemotherapy) at past posts to learn more as well. Take care.
Melinda
