Welcome to the new GRACE site!

Here we hope to provide a new and friendly place for our community members, that goes beyond what our old forum did.  Our amazing faculty is building and we would like to continue to share their knowledge with others, to provide a place for those dealing with more types of cancers, including Lung.

Share our forum with others, and please consider this a safe place to discuss and ask questions about living with cancer.  

Operations Director for GRACE. Have worked with cancerGRACE.org since July 2009.  Became involved as a caregiver to my best friend, and quickly came to see that GRACE is filling a need in the area of cancer education.

TAGRISSO vs TAGRIX vs GEFTINIB

Hello, i am from India and my uncle who is only 66 years old has been diagnosed with stage 4 adenocarcinoma lung. We are still not out of the shock. It feels like a curse has befallen us. Biopsy showed EGFR positive and doctor suggested to start tagrisso which is 1.5 lakhs Indian rupees a month (not affordable for a middle class Indian family). The second option he said was geftinib (only 5000 Indian rupees a month) but doctor said that it won't prevent metastasis to brain. I was searching desperately and found that tagrix and one other brand is being produced in neighbouring Bangladesh.

Information everyone should have :)

Nutrition during cancer treatment

 

Finding resources for patient and caregivers

 

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.

Formas de hacer frente a las consecuencias del cuidado de otras personas

 


En esta sección, analizamos posibles medidas que podemos tomar para apoyarnos en las luchas que supone ser cuidador.

 

Tomarse un descanso/ Encontrar el "tiempo para mí"

 

Cuidar de alguien parece una ocupación a tiempo completo, pero no tiene por qué serlo. Cuidar de uno mismo nos prepara para desempeñar mejor nuestro papel.

El apoyo y el cuidador

 


Cuidando a un cuidador

Cuando llegan los informes de las pruebas y la creciente expectación confirma los peores temores con un diagnóstico de cáncer, sin duda a quien más afecta es al individuo. Sin embargo, sus ondas son de gran alcance; lo compartimos con nuestros padres, familiares, parejas, hijos o amigos, y casi cualquier persona en la que podamos confiar en busca de apoyo.
