I am 63 years old and was diagnosed with srage IV small cell lung cancer in June of 2015. My lung cancer was inoperable. As of today, I have been battling survival joyously, one day at a time for 20 months. This past Friday I completed 78 total treatments of chemo since July of 2015. No radiation. I have only been able to go 2 months with a clear CT scan before it returns. This form of lung cancer is incurable and will continue to return. In spite of that, I remain positive every day with every breath God gives me. I started out with cancer in my right lung, chest lymph nodes and liver. Upon return, its only been in my right lung and chest lymph nodes. I am eternally grateful to my doctor, my oncology nurses, and medicine. But most of all I'm grateful to my Lord. Without God walking this journey with me I couldn't have made it. He has provided strength to me physically, spiritually and emotionally. I do not take one minute of any day for granted. I do not slip into despair when I have a bad day. I had bad days before cancer. My goal is to uplift others, to shine the light, to pass on His glory. During this journey I have recognized that ALL glory goes to Him. God bless all of you. 💜💙

Lifzgr8t So happy to hear your survival post. Thanks for sharing. My mom (81) had cancer in those same areas but she didn't want any treatment. If you don't mine sharing what was your treatment plan that got you to this point. I'm quite sure it can give others hope. Thanks
