Thank you very much dear onyx for posting this thread.

Thank you all very much and may God Bless each of you.
Lynn’s diagnosis is small cell cancer of the right lung.
The cancer grew very rapidly and the hope is that it will also shrink quickly and kill many of the cancer cells.
The chemo was postponed until today. The first chemo treatment started at about 4pm. The schedule will be 3 days a week for 4 weeks. After Monday the plan currently is to go home and return each week for the treatments. The hospital is not very far from home. That in itself is a blessing.
We are still learning more every day about this disease and how to fight it.
I know the prayers work. Just the other day the prognosis was ‘untreatable’ and now it is very treatable. It has been a real roller coaster ride lately. A lot of it I can’t even get straight in my mind yet.
Again, thank you all very very much for your prayers. We have such wonderful people here on FR.

You and Lynn both have my prayers for a complete recovery.

Steve, I don't know what to say other than G-d Bless and Keep you and your Wife.

Prayers for you.

My husband has the same thing. He was diagnosed in July, 2012. He has had chemo, every three weeks since then and is doing well. He has developed interstitial lung disease so be on the lookout for that.

He has gone turkey hunting for the weekend.

Best wishes for great doctors and God’s hands to guide them.

I'm so glad to hear that things are looking up for you and Lynn!

I have a book, "Chicken Soup for the Cancer Survivor's Soul," that contains the following poem:

WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO

Cancer is so limited . . .
It cannot cripple Love
It cannot shatter Hope
It cannot corrode Faith
It cannot destroy Peace
It cannot kill Friendship
It cannot suppress Memories
It cannot silence Courage
It cannot invade the Soul
It cannot steal Eternal Life
It cannot conquer the Spirit
