I joined GRACE as a caregiver for my husband who had a Pancoast tumor, NSCLC stage III in 2009. He had curative chemo/rads then it was believed he had a recurrence in the spine/oligometastasis that was radiated. He's 10 years out from treatment.

Survivors Month/Glad to be Here

June is National Cancer Survivors Month.  As with many terms used in cancer, not everyone who has incurable cancer sees themselves as a survivor if they aren't going to survive cancer, and some people are happy to take on the mantle of "survivor", no matter the prognosis.

May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month. 

Did you know that a brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in or near the brain, potentially originating in the brain itself (primary) or spreading from elsewhere in the body (secondary/metastatic)? Tumors can be benign or malignant, varying greatly in size and impact.

Hello OutThere!  This is Janine, GRACE's Community Outreach Team member.  I've been a part of the Grace community since 2009, just before my husband was diagnosed with stage 3B nsclc.  Long story short, Don went through a lot and is here today living life.

Hi. Hope you're all doing ok. IDK where to post this, so apologies if posted in wrong section. (im a male.) So, in February, I started getting headaches. Like, severe. They've calmed down somewhat now, my DR said it's migraine, etc. But, on March the 3rd, I woke up with red spider veins, a red rash. I'm trying to get a DR'S appointment, however sometimes they don't have available appointments. What I'm most concerned about now, is lung cancer {SCLC/Pancoast} . I'm 26, 27 in 4 days but, i smoked from 11, quit in 2017, started again in 2021. I smoked around 10-15 cigarettes a day.

Hello,

 

Today I'd like to share a new playlist on our youtube channel, Importance of Testing.  These videos cover prevention, screening, and early detection of skin, lung and breast cancers. 

To further your understanding and that of others, you are always welcome to post questions, thoughts, replies, and experiences.

 

Be safe,

Janine
