Hello @pattymac: I'm so sorry to hear of the stress you are experiencing as a result of your test results. Sometimes we become our own worst enemy because we worry about things that haven't happened yet, don't we? I agree with much of what has been said so far. First, take a deep breath and don't jump to conclusions about your health or your future until you have spoken with the specialist which I believe will be Tuesday. Try to take care of yourself. Do those things that make you feel good, perhaps take a walk, meet a friend for lunch or see a movie. Don't assume any prognosis that hasn't yet been verified by a doctor and please don't believe that there is no cure for lung cancer. I have a friend at my church who had lung cancer treatment well over 5 years ago and is doing very well. It is good to follow a healthy diet, but try not to get pulled into a diet plan that will "cure what ails you" because it probably won't. Just eat healthy and keep your thoughts positive.I believe that positive thoughts can have a curative effect. I've had three occurrences of a rare type of cancer (carcinoid cancer, also known as neuroendocrine tumors) and I'm enjoying life and health and keeping positive regarding the future. Will you try to do the same? Best wishes and keep in touch with us. We are all pulling for you. Teresa

Love your post Teresa! We have the choice to smile, thank God for all He has given us, enjoy a beautiful apple, our friends, the sunshine, a good movie, etc. Taking control in this lovely way gives us power over fear. Having others pray for us, keeping our social connections, even in our worst days, has power beyond measure. You've proven so much by your words. When we look past all of the particulars and choose to be hope-FULL, and set up things that make us happy, that is powerful healing right there; information and perfect medical help just comes to us. Be well and enjoy your day... I know you are : )

@jms7, I need to know your first name! I just love your posts! Hugs to you! Katherine
