Hi All,
Long time since I have last wrote on my blog. And for this I apologize. Lots has happened in my life since I was last on here. Somewhere along the way I lost what I was trying to accomplish and that was that no one would go uneducated in regards to medicine and the industry. Just to touch base I am again dealing with sickness in my family. This time it is the last remaining member of my immediate family of four. One time there was my mom who died of breast cancer in 1991. Then in 2008 as many of you know my sister who passed due to taking birth control for a medical condition (which sparked the passion for this blog) Now as of just recent my Dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 non small cell lung cancer at 78. (Leading me to the realization that I am it when he goes. I am the only one left to tell my families store and pass that down.) This is of course some scary but familiar territory for me. As I did with each one of them I have learned how important it is to be knowledgeable about what they are getting in the forms of treatment. I hope to help those in the same or similar situations. I am always available to research and if I cant get the info I will find out who can so that you can have the most up today information out there.
In the case of Non small cell lung cancer you will find that this is the slower form of lung cancer and can happen in smokers as well as non smokers. Unfortunately, by the time it is diagnosed it may already be in stage 3 or 4. However, there are various types of treatments available to patients other that just Chemo. I will attach some links about a type of therapy other than chemo therapy that seems to be taking the Non small cell cancer treatment to another level.
