I think the issue with cancer is the Stage (which in your friends case is not good) and the type and the person's history. Obviously lung cancer is not a great one to get.

I feel for you helping your friend. I have had my own tremendous health issues. I do know that going to radiaiton and chemo is very very difficult. I hope she has a lot of support and care.

Hi Jeannie,

Prays and hugs for you, and for your friend and her family. Life can sure throw some cruel and painful blows at us, but yet somehow we carry on. In the words of Rick Tippe "yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.

Prayers are on the way to your friend's family as well as yours. If you go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation website there is a huge amount of information available. www.laf.org You can also get a free treatment notebook. I did this for a friend's spouse. She needed to feel useful while he was going through his treatment for kidney cancer. Remember there is always hope. To me this was the most useful website because it deals with all aspects a cancer patient goes through from the informative to the practical everyday things. There are also great stories of survivalship, some which weren't suppose to survive.

Love and blessings to you and your family as well as your friend's.

Live strong,

Karilynn

Aloha Jeannie!

Of course the prayers and like Karilynn there is also a site regarding, "Eleven ways you can fight Cancer" that is so hopeful. http://www.cancerfightingstrategies.com/?engine=adwords!800&keyword=%2Acancer%2A&match_type= Please direct her to this site while she starts her treatment. Her son might also find it very supportive also.

Third step prayer...

People often say things like, there's new drugs out there every day so keep your chin up. Well, that is a good saying. I have a close friend who was diagnosed with terminal cancer. They gave her 6 months tops. It was lungs and brain.

During her treatments they asked her to try a new drug called Evastin and be part of a study. That was 2 years ago. The drug does not make the cancer go away, but allows it to "float around" the body and not stick and grow.

There is always hope. Maybe your friend would qualify to use it.

Prayers coming for all of you.

Take care of you!
