Thank you. That is the really bad part. I have nobody. Absolutely nobody. No friends, neighbors to help, family left. I had to sign up for a volunteer site where people come and help with home repairs. Still waiting. I had part of my kitchen floor cave in where I can see the basment now and a ceiling fall in with mold all over the floor. Just seems so hopeless even before Friday. Just deflated and haven't left bed. I live in Southern Indiana.

Stage 4 for 6 years? That is hopeful. I don't know what that means as I am new of course. Head is just spinning. I am going to call my doc in the morning and ask to be seen/sent to someone before my appt on the 29th. Can't even keep food down I am so stressed.

Julie,

I was first diagnosed 6 years ago. It metastasized to my brain 2 years later, so I've only been Stage 4 for 3 and a half years. Stage 4 means the lung cancer has traveled to another organ.

While I know people all across the country, unfortunately, nobody near southern Indiana. Keep talking with your Oncologist. Let him know about your home situation, as doctors frequently have connections in the local community. I wish you all the best.
