Frank: How far is it from Minot to Mohall? That would be a neat drive, but not in March!!! LOL I could always look at a map, I guess. Probably flying would be better. Kathy

This is Kathy in Boise again. My oncologist initially recommended radiation to the brain, but did not push it. She told me there was a slight chance of brain damage and that my hair would never grow back normally. I have opted -- at least for now -- not to have the brain radiation, and I've heard no more urging from my doctor. In fact, the next visit will be to her nurse in March -- I am doing well enough that I don't need to see her. There is more than one thing about the brain radiation that bothers me -- since I had an unpleasant experience with the chest radiation. I hope this helps. However, if the doctor is really pushing this treatment, he or she must have a reason. Kathy

Dear Paul: I am 56 years old and I was diagnosed with small cell lung
cancer last December -- almost exactly a year ago. Small cell is a
particularly virulent type of cancer -- it moves very quickly and is nasty,
in that it jumps from organ to organ with great speed and deadliness. The
diagnosis devasted me and my husband. The doctor said I had only a 35%
chance of surviving. She didn't say how long. Because the cancer was
confined to one lung, I was accepted into a clinical trial and given very
aggressive chemotherapy and radiation. I was very sick, and wouldn't want
to go through it again, but I would do it, if the results were the same. I
read Bernie Siegel's books, went to a cancer support group, leaned heavily
on my family for love and support, and kept my faith in God strong. In
March I was told that the cancer was gone and that I now had an 80% chance
of surviving for more than five years. If I have no recurrence within a
two
year period, they will consider me completely cured. This just does not
happen with small cell lung cancer, but it did! Even my doctors were
amazed! There are quite a few of us on this forum with lung cancer -- two
of us with small cell -- the rest with the other types. You will get
educated answers and a lot of support from us. Let us help you and your
father. Our Lillian and Marty are our researchers -- the rest of us
support
each other and offer suggestions. Let us know what type of cancer your
father has, the location, and the recommended treatment. Do this asap, and
you will be amazed at the response! Welcome. Kathy in Boise
