Hello, I also have always had pain in my middle and ring finger on and off (right arm) with and without the Honer's syndrome symptoms showing. Recently the pain in my finger has gone to my radius/ulnar part of the arm and then I felt it in my scapula w/ slight neck. It's not unbearable pain but it's painful and uncomfortable and I don't always stay in pain. I also experienced arm muscle spasms today. I searched up these pains with horner's syndrome and saw Pancoast syndrome. I don't have any family or friends that smoke so I don't know why I would have lunch cancer but I never found the smoke of cigarettes to smell bad when I did pass by someone smoking and didn't try keeping that smoke-air from entering my lungs. I doubt that little of smoke would cause cancer though. Is there anything that could be causing the pain in my arm and scapula besides Pancoast and should I get this checked out? Right now I can't afford all these medical tests and I don't have insurance either so Im reluctant in having tests unless I know my life is at risk. Thank you |

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.
I came across GRACE while looking for info about his symptoms and possible cancer diagnosis. At that time, Dr. West and 2 other oncologists (he somehow rangled into helping each month) were writing articles for the site and answering every question on the forum. As you can imagine, this was a busy place but also an unsustainable labor of love for busy oncologists and a growing internet.
I had no intention of even looking at a forum. I just wanted information about Don's issues, and at the time this was the only place with that info. Today most of our interactions take place on YT, FB, etc.
People still access the forums though normally stay in the shadows, which is perfectly fine. I usually do too...in other forums, that is :). Just know we always welcome comments, questions, experiences, or just share how today is going.
I'd love to hear from you. Let us know how you found GRACE (no pun intended) and how you use it. I'm so sorry you need to be here and hope you are taking care to live life and fight and love and hope.
Take care, Janine

How can I subscribe to get email notices of all new discussions added to a forum category, like the ones for Stage IV NSCLC or BAC? I thought this capability used to exist at one time with a button for subscribing to a whole category, but I can't find the button for that now. Best hopes, Craig |

I wanted to jump in and say that I think the changes that have been adopted on the site make a difference and that it's better! With a little more experience, I might get the hang of things again. And before any of that happened, I was wanting to post a big SHOUT OUT to Mark and Dr. West for what has become a HUGE new favorite feature for me -- the email notification of a reply to a post. That one feature reduced my frustration with trying to keep up with whatever might be happening on the site to a manageable level. I'm not sure about whether the "subscribe" to this post and the check box for sending an email in the event a reply is posted work the same way or differently, though. I have "subscribed" to a few posts, but don't know what I'm looking for in terms of notification as a result of that functionality. I'm also not sure about how to "sort out" and effectively use what's contained in the "Cancer Info" and "Discuss"drop down menus. The titles suggest (to me, at least) that the "Cancer Info" is a link to more static content (though I know that's not true) and the "Discuss" header suggests that this is the tab you'd use to initiate a topic or engage in a Forum. I'll keep looking at it and try to figure out what I'm doing...or trying to do. Sometimes I don't even know. Maybe later, we can figure out how to disaggregate some of the content that's been posted during this interim period and get a handle on what categories seem to resonate most with folks. Thanks for hanging in there with us. I think we're getting closer to where we all want to be. Yahoo! |
