I had 3rd stage non small cell lung cancer. I was diagnosed 11/3/04 and basicly followed Dr.Days 10 step plan for the last 2 1/2 years. Is there someone out there who has survived as I have? I am 56 and am in excellent physical condition.

Our cousin was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and it had already spread to the brain. She went through radiation but refused chemo. I think she did take some sort of pill for chemo… its hard to say because everyone is so secretive. After the radiation they found no trace of cancer in the brain and the lung cancer was shrinking (3 months ago). Now- the cancer is back in three parts of the brain and she has lumps on her neck and back. She is now going to go with the chemo and she is in a lot of pain. Can someone tell me what is most likely going to happen?

my dad was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer end of feb 08. symptoms started begining of february. he was paraplegic and ex smoker gave up 4 years ago. he also had heart attack end of august 07. some say that cancer is dormant before it forms a tumor and my question is do you think cancer was there before the heart attack or did heart attack change something for the cancer to start.

How long would this type of cancer would be in the lung or the body before the symptoms start. is years or months days ?
difficult question?
what about the small cell lung cancer that type is fast growing?

I have stage 4 non small cell lung cancer for 2 years and I never smoked. At the age of 44 I whant to know if what i eat is promoting this fluid or the cancer its self?
Thank you

My grandpa is in his ninth month of small cell lung cancer and right now he can’t even feed himself. He and I are fishing buddies. I’m 20 and I haven’t lost anyone yet. I just had the worse dream last night and couldn’t sleep. My mom who works for a doctor’s office has lost all hope and I am still believing that he could make it.
