My heart goes out to you and your sister.  People DO survive lung cancer.  Taking chemo is a tough decision to make, it can destroy the quality time you may have left IF  hers is NOT in a curable stage.  Most doctors WILL give honest answers IF the patients ASK:  Is my cancer curable?  What are my chances of surviving with surgery only?  What are my chances of surviving WITH and WITHOUT chemo? Or  WITH and WITHOUT radiation?\nShe might need you to go with her to ask these questions, (I encourage you to WRITE DOWN your questions, and let the doctor SEE you have a list of questions...) for the support, and so you can reaffirm what she was told.   An amazing number of people are unable to clearly remember and process the info they are given when the disease is life-threatening.  If you were with her, and later she can't quite recall the information, you could gentley help her work through the answers.\n Encourage her to get second opinions if she feels she needs more information.  Not EVERY form of cancer, not EVERY patient is good candidate for chemo.  Chemo can often cause more life ravaging consequences than the cancer itself.  I can understand her hesitancy in NOT jumping into chemotherapy.  Please do not let anyone make her feel like a "quitter" or guilty for NOT choosing chemo IF HERS IS not curable.  Perhaps she will choose to focus her fight on maintaining her dignity, independence, and quality of life as long as she is able to- IF HERS IS NOT IN A CURABLE STAGE.  \nSometimes radiation and other cancer treatments are given as a palliative measure, meaning it will not CURE the cancer, but hopefully if can keep the tumors from causing decreasing function of of organs in the chest, or from causing increased pain.\nIf it IS treatable, and if it IS a stage of cancer that will repond to surgery, chemo, and radiation, etc, it may make it easier for her to bear the treatments if she knows she DOES have a chance to survive.  She has a right to that information about her own particular stage of cancer before she makes the choice. Take care, I wish you both well.

I know what your Friend is going thru. Prayer is the only thing that can help her. I was surprised more people did not answer this. Maybe they did and maybe they did pray for her. Either way please keep me updated if at all possible. I am interested to know the outcome. I will pray for her!

Lord, please protect Maggie from any spirit coming against her that is not of God.  Please send Maggie Christian friends who she can discuss you, and your word with and who will encourage her in seeking your presence in her life.  Please set her feet on the solid ground of your word.  Please infuse in her mind and heart a confidence that you will never leave nor forsake her, that you guide her and protect her from all deceit.  Finally Lord, I ask this coming Christmas season that Maggie experience the wonder of who you are in a new way and that her faith in you grow day by day.  All these things I ask in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

HI! I will definitely pray for you two. I am so sorry about your illnesses. That is so tragic. There is power in prayers and strength in numbers. My brother was written off as 'terminal' when he was 15. He's now 49! He had many prayers and is wonderful and healthy now. I wrote your names down and will contact others to pray for you as well. God bless!

Thank you for this question!\nMy mother-in-law (my Pastor) was recently diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas. Additionally she had a tumor on her spine and a mass in her colon. The diagnosis was confirmed by two specialists. She was told she had eight weeks to live. Her doctors scheduled surgery to try to remove the colon mass. She asked me to search the web for a few options for her casket, a friend is a gifted carpenter and he was going to build it for her once she chose what she wanted. \nThe church organized a 24-hour prayer chain as we always do when there is a dire need and she checked into the hospital in the large city near our small town. I visited her on the morning of her surgery and we talked about what we've experienced in God over the last thirty years. We cried, we held hands, we laughed, we cried. She was ready and we spent that early morning in the hospital saying our goodbyes. She told us what she wanted to wear. Which dress, which shoes. She told us who she wanted to speak at her funeral. She knew her husband (co-Pastor) wouldn't be able to. She told my wife (her daughter) what songs she wanted her to play and sing. It was horrible.\nThey took her into surgery and my wife and I waited in the visitors lounge. The church at home continued to pray because we've learned over the years that sometimes God's mind can be changed. She had taught us that. \nI have known this woman for thirty years. She is the most remarkable person I have ever encountered.\nFour-and-a-half hours later the oncologist came out and told us it had not gone as anticipated. In the process of trying to locate the colon mass they had torn the colon with the scope. This happened because they couldn't find the mass where they anticipated it to be. They kept looking for it until they accidently tore the colon wall. That led them to open her up to repair that damage. While they repaired the colon they searched for the mass by hand but could not find it.\nThey elected to look at her pancreas while they were there to better gauge the size of the mass. They could not find that one either. Her X-rays were posted for reference nearby and they showed both masses. And yet the doctors physically examined both locations and found nothing. They could not get to the mass on the spine.\nI'll never forget as the doctor began to apologized about the colon mishap. He was noticeably upset. We assured him it was not a problem. We told him the church had been praying around the clock for over a week and he said it was clear to him that she had been miraculously healed. The second doctor came out and could only smile and shake our hands.\nShe was taken to recovery and then to her room where she stayed for a few days. She was visited by every nurse and nearly every doctor in the hospital for those few days. And she was not bashful about what God had done for her. She reminded them that there was proof and they were all aware.\n\nThis is just one example. I have many others I could share but you already believe. And it is so good to see God's work acknowledged in such a public way.\nI don't know what your background is but clearly God does. Please don't forget what you are feeling now. Thank Him often. And consider that He may have something far greater than you realize waiting for you. Here and beyond.\nPlease read Chapter 2 of Acts (New Testament) with your husband and consider what more God may have for you.

Heavenly Father, I ask you to lift Noell up in your arms. I pray that you give her the strength to make it thru this day without her mother. As you know she is without her mom today and she needs your support and guidance. As you lift her up help her to feel the love of her mother thru YOU. \nIn Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

OH yes I will pray for you. I to am having a rough year I have lost my great grandmother then my uncle and now my grandmother is in mexico right now for cancer treatment and they don't even know which one it is and they have given her less then a year to live and what is really breaking me up about it right now is that I have a new baby girl who is going to be 3 months old soon and she hasn't even met her yet. They are hoping to send her home for christmas which would be very good because then she might have the chance to meet her great granddaughter at least once because when and if we see her at christmas it will probably  be the last time I ever get to see her again.

let me start off by saying i am so sorry about your mom. i just lost my uncle to lung cancer and my grandpa to cancer that started in the kidney and ended up all over his body. The best advice that i can give to you is to pray that they will come to their senses and grow up. Your mother is fighting for her life, but when all is said and done and your poor mother is gone they will be the ones that will have to live with the decisions and comments that they made while your mother was still alive. And they will then understand what an impact that their words had on your mother. But from what i read you love your mother very much and she loves you the same. Keep praying for recovery or for her not to suffer any longer than she has to. I watched my grandfather battle and suffer for 7 years with the last 3 in agony with pain. And to know that he knew how much each and everyone of us loved him, he went in peace. I wish you the best of luck and my prayers are with you

Although it is hard to come to terms with what is going on at the moment you must keep in mind that your uncle will reach a place where most of us could only dream of being. My cousin whom was 22 just past away with CF which is a lung disease and i took it pretty bad.. but i knew that when he went it was gods plan to make him healthy and happy and not to suffer anymore here on earth. Also you will too one day meet up with him and be a family as you are now here on earth. Keep your chin up and be strong for him as he has gone though so much with his chemo and the pain. You will be able to say your last goodbyes and when you do you will feel a sence of calmness in you. I will pray for you and your family.

I know how you feel, but there is hope. \n\nI am currently in the Bahamas with my Mother who has Terminal Lung Cancer. There is a clinic here that has been in operation for over 30 years. We have been here for 4 of our 8 week stay, everyday is really neat. A lot of the patients stick around in the meeting room/ waiting room to visit, and share stories and catch up. There were 40 people all talking and laughing, talking about cancer and life, the returning patients talk about how bad their cancer was 4, 8, 10 even 18 years ago when they started coming to the clinic, the cancer that has since disappeared. There is nothing dangerous or foreign to the treatment, just building up your immune system in a very effective manner. If you want to know more contact me or go to www.immunemedicine.com I cannot tell you how impressed I am with what I have seen and how my Mother has already improved. I know one man who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he skipped all US, conventional (poisonous, dangerous) options and went to the Bahamas and is doing great now. Another man who has been coming here for 18 years that had prostate cancer. People with just about every type of cancer. But, they are honest here, you send them your medical information and they will tell you whether they believe they can help you or not, and they will send you home if they don't think you are benefiting. \n\nMy mom has shown drastic improvements and is feeling so much better. and we are in the Bahamas so we are having a good Mother-Daughter vacation.\n\nI have also done a lot of research on the Cesium Chloride/DMSO treatment and think that it has merit and you can do it at home.\n\nThe clinic here believes that a supplement/liquid called VIBE works really well in addition to other treatments, I am going to look in to that some more.\n\nUS doctors push chemo and radiation, but when you look at the statistics and side effects it is not a good option for most people. My Mom had both before we came here and now that I know more about them and have researched them I feel horrible that I let her go through them. She was lucky (so far) the only long term side effect she has shown is short term memory loss. \n\nThe stories I have heard from the other patients here about how they were treated by US medicine astound me. One lady went home to have a shunt put in her liver so she would be ok to come here, but they refused to put it in unless she agreed to do chemotherapy, is that what our country is about? Denying helpful procedures unless we agree to dangerous, toxic ones? The drug companies run US medicine at least when it comes to cancer treatment and it is sad. Most doctors will tell you not to try alternative medicine and some will refuse to even see you again if you do. To some degree they are not to blame, they have not been taught anything about it other than that it is evil and wrong and they would be rejected by their colleagues if they suggested alternatives.\n\nI would also like to tell you about another lady staying at the house we are staying at, she is 86 years old and has breast cancer as well. She arrived at the clinic the same day we did and is doing very well. Her immune system continues to improve and she gained 2 pounds since last week. She is absolutely thrilled with this treatment and knows that it is helping her.\n\nPlease whatever you do, research first. \n\nOne very helpful website is www.cancertutor.com\n\nGood luck!!

Do you remember your wedding vows in sickness and in health? You know if my spouse wasnt taking care of me and showing the love and support I needed I might just pack my things and say ADIOS! I mean given you need help if your mother is there to help you then take what you can get. If she isnt being a wife or partner at all then what is the marriage about? Sounds like a house full of misery to me. Thats the last thing you need you need some love and support regardless of the mistakes youve made. If she cant trust you or get over the things that happened maybe you guys should get some help with your marriage. Otherwise if she cant get over it, I think she isnt going to change how she feels and maybe the marriage is over. I think if I was sick with cancer Id want positive things in my life and if someone is dragging me down Id either talk to them about it and work it out or like I said if that doesnt work and youve exhausted other options, stay with your mom. You need positive reinforcement right now to help you get through. Good luck.

I pray that God protects you with his precious blood and that His angels are all around you.  I also pray that nothing goes wrong and that God is in the doctors hands while performing your surgery.   I have a prayer request.  My grandmother had a stroke in May and she is not doing very well.  Please just pray that she will get better soon so that she will live to see her 80th birthday on October 20th.
