The shock
Monday, December, the 18, 2006, I awoke as usual and preceded to begin my day. I have emphysema and wasn't concerned, as I began my morning coughing. Soon through, I was staring at bright red blood , that I was coughing up. Oh no, I thought, I have to call my doctor. I did and was told to get to the hospital for lung x rays.The next day, I was admitted to the hospital, for a broncoscopy. Right after the broncoscopy, my doctor told me, Barb, it looks like cancer. What!!! Had I heard him right??? He said for me to come into his office on Friday, December, 22, 2006 for the results. I went to his office, understandably nervous but with courage in what I had to face. He said, that during the procedure, I was coughing and bleeding so much that I would have to have another broncoscopy on Jauary the 9th. He also said that he is 95% sure that it is cancer .Today is December the 23, 2006. I will follow this up soon.

Wow!! What a wonderful welcome to Jland. Thanks all and I will keep you posted on the lung cancer reports. Love to all,Barb
I am so sorry for you. I have been scared that is what the doctor is going to tell me when I go back for my endoscopy in Janurary. I was told a few months ago that I had cancerous cells in my colon, but the test wasn't very good. So I have to do it again. I just have to have faith God will be with me and get me through it. You have to do the same. Many people have beat cancer and so will we. Eat healthy and think positive. Take care of yourself and try not to worry, it just makes you feel worse. And welcome to Jland, there are good people here.
God Bless,
Liz in Va.

Hi barb, Deb sent me over to say hello and give support. I have never had cancer, but have had a close family friend who went through something very similar to what you are going through now.

Well, I've made it through our family get together. I didn't know how I would feel facing all my children and grandchildren but I carried it off. All the time, my thoughts would stop and I'd think..is this the last Christmas?I managed to keep those thoughts at bay and have a wonderful Christmas. I really think I did a good job. Thank You God. Merry Christmas all. Barb
