Hello,
No I haven't had Lung CA.
I was new here and wrote something to a lovely woman with Lung Cancer in that group by mistake but was wishing her well. I do have painful arthritis - they're unsure if it's inflammatory type and it's getting worse.
I lost my son 5 years ago and I just am falling apart.
Mind body - you know that connection. Well mine seems to not be connecting very well. Thx for writing.
PS: I was a hospice nurse and stopped working the moment my dear mother turned a 'corner' having Lung CA meaning she was really displaying distress, I cared for her as much as possible and my dad as well and at the end of her life all the time. She was a well read organic food eater only the healthiest things were in her life..non smoker but still was diagnosed with small cell CA. She has symptoms prior for many many years of a cough and even with her being a nurse with Masters Degree, so very well read on Health topics all her life she didn't seek help for that lingering cough. Her super Pulmonologist stated a long while ago maybe when she was in her 60's she had a chest x-ray in a drs. office as he gathered all her x-rays over the years to compare and said there was a spot on her lung way way back then but that family Dr. noted it to be blurry so he just put it aside. I'm mad at this and sad she didn't take my advice about seeing a Pulmonologist for the cough.
What a beautiful person she was to all!
