    Mum was diagnosed with NSCLC last Feb, and initially did well with her chemo. The tumour actually shrunk a little!

    Well, back from mums monthly post chemo check,and she has been complaining of pain around her tumour site, is this normal. he was told the tumour has not grown, but thay are going to do a CT to check anyway. Just hope it hasn't metastersised elsewhere!! We are keeping positive.

    Love to a special lady x

    Hi to everyone, I havent been able to get back online since the big change last year, so I lost heart a little.

    To recap mum was diagnosed with  Lung cancer March 09, and has had Chemo. She has not deteriorated since which is good news and has no new symptoms, so I guess the treatment helped. she does get very tired though which is to be expected.

    Any news from old friends would be appriciated. x
