Anyone have any GOOD news about it? My sister was diagnosed this week with it. She is a smoker. I know googling it doesn't look good. If so be very honest please.Thanks in advanced.

Sorry to hear. My Mother passed from that back in 92.She was 72 years old and was also a smoker. They likely have much better treatments today.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Thanks Boco. She went to the cancer doctor this week. 6 months without treatments, 2 years with treatments. Probably start chemo within the week.

Boco, Kirk De, thanks for responding. She has started chemo. Had a brain scan and it came back negative for cancer.She is pretty good in spirits for what it is. I believe she will go for tests to see if the chemo is doing its job??

How’s your sister doing? A friends wife just got news that hers went into remission with treatment. Sorry for the delay. She is doing good in spirits for what she is dealing with. She had all the chemo and immune therapy treatments and it really shrunk the cancer. She had a pet scan last week and it is back in her lung. She says she is down to about 1 cig a day. Just hopefully never makes it to her brain. Bob, thanks for asking and great to hear that about your alls friend!! I have been hearing alot of good things about the immunotherapy tratments. I do believe that if a person takes care of their body, IF they ever get cancer they have a better chance of survival.

Hope all is going well with your sister. If your sister is willing to "do the things" - quit smoking, change her diet, keep an open mind and believe she can heal - I highly recommend Hope 4 Cancer in Tijuana Mexico. They also have a location in Cancun. My mom learned she had metastatic lung cancer (from smoking) and was not willing to do chemo (and we agreed it would have killed her faster), so after a lot of research, we found H4C. We took her there for a 3 weeks "boot camp" of treatments and learned a ton. Mom did the things while she was there and got stronger and her tumor markers reduced. She unfortunately was not willing (or emotionally able..?) to do the work when we got back. I do believe we got more time with her than we would have had otherwise. Wishing you well.

Bob, Kim, thanks for the responses. Kim that is interesting to hear about the treatments in Mexico. I will pass that along to my sister. They did find a place in her brain. She has been taking all the treatments and last pet scan ALL tumors had shrunk. Kim, prayers for your mom!
