Paul Karin and Ewan,
My prayers go out to you at this great time of need. I lit a candle for you and hope it brings some comfort to you. Having been down this road with my wife for the last 5 years some very good things will come out of this if you stay strong and keep the faith. Good luck with your journey and may you find peace and strength from friends and loved ones!

Paul,
As a cancer survivor myself, I can empathize with how difficult it is, for not only your wife, but for the family supporting her.
I wish your family all the best and hope for a swift and full recovery.

My wife has also had lung issues and had Lung volume reduction surgery 3 years ago. Being positive goes a long way! As she says, "They can't bury me if I'm moving". In 2002 the told her she most likely had 5 years to live and recommended she have a lung transplant. We even missed a call from the transplant center due to their mistake. Was a blessing in disguise as with LVRS she has better quality of life and no drugs to prevent rejection. Things will work out in the end. They always do.

Our family's thoughts go out to you. My grandmother fought valiantly against lung cancer over a period of years so I know what you are going through.

Gentlepeople:

Thank you so very much for the kind words, thoughts and prayers for my wife and family.

Late last week during our obligatory two week check-up the doctor said that he is VERY happy to see how well the drug Tarceva is working for my wife. When he first met us two weeks prior to that, Karin couldn't hold a conversation without loosing her breath and coughing. Now, she can walk up stairs and be a little winded, but no where as bad as she was just prior to starting Tarceva.

Also, Karin broke out with a sever case of Tarceva rash after only a few days on the medicine. Usually, if the drug is working, the see the rash begin to start at the 10 to 14 day mark. Karin's outbreak so bad and so soon means only one thing: the drug is working!

We have a CT scan at the end of next week, and an MRI on her brain in seven weeks to see how your issues are doing. We are praying for any type of improvement.

People tell us to fight. Fighting implies that you might loose. We ain't loosing, so our battle cry is that we are on the WAR PATH!

Again, humbly, I thank each of you for taking the time to show your support for my family and for saying prayers for my beloved wife.

Very respectfully,

Paul

You have my prayers and hopes that your wife will cured. I understand completely what you are going through. My wife died from leukemia on June 17, 2009. She was 49 years old.

My sympathies, WarHound. My family dodged a bullet as my granddaughter is a leukemia survivor.

Here's hoping for continuing good news, Paul.

That is why I donate Platelets like once every two weeks. My Wife's side of the family runs wild with different types of cancer. More people should donate. Rob

I am so very sorry to here your story. My wife passed away 2-3 years ago from similar disease. I realize the pain and issues you are dealing with. Please do not give up hope. Great strides are being made in treatments and I pray you and yours will overcome this great challenge. Be positive and determined and never,ever give up hope.
