RuthAnne, you are so clever. How are you? I live in Chicago too. I go to the University of Chicago for treatment.

I would love to connect with you.

Just read your post Ruth Anne. I wish I could give you guidance. A gentleman at my clinic shared his story with me. Stage IV for 14 years also living with cancer as chronic illness.He now has chemo weekly. His wife also had breast cancer over this time period, twice, with 2 mastectomies. He had 3 lobectomies. His strategy? His faith, doing for others (he and his wife fostered 10 children in that 14 years - and adopted 2 of them), and trusting his doctors. Not sure if that helps you; not sure if it helps me. I feel like I'm in the midst of it all still and my life will start again - not sure if that is the case and maybe I should rethink that thought. It is a new life after cancer, that is for sure. Sending hopeful and inspiring thoughts your way!

RuthAnne, You inspire me! I can live with chronic! Stage IIIA.. Lobectomy in March; now undergoing chemo after surgery. Will view your journey and hope to "talk" to you soon! Congratulations! I am 52

Wondering what a lung biopsy is like? a 4mm nodule in my right upper lobe was seen on CT scan Nov.1 - it was not there on the CT scan in July. I am having a PET scan on Nov.29
I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in Dec. 2011 and colon cancer in Sept.2012
