My father was dx w/ NSCLC, advanced stage in 1998. He has had chemo,
radiation, and then thalidomide. The cancer was gone (or so we thought) then
reared it's head again 2 months ago. He is again on chemo. He was dx at 75;
in July he turned 77. He's been with us OVER 2 yrs and though it hasn't been
easy for him, he has good days along with the bad ones. So I just want to
say here that the "1-1.5 years max" is only an educated guess, not a fact.
