She was diagnosed with lung cancer yesterday. we\'ll get the prognosis from the oncologist today. she\'s been a smoker most of her life, but at least seemed to be in good spirits last night. she definitely seems to have the right mental attitude to fight this, so here\'s to her!

Very sorry to hear such news. My thoughts are with all of you, good to hear she is in a positive mood, hope she beats the piss out of it.

I am very sad to hear that, it is unfortunate.
Jill\'s mother still live in CT? What hospital is she being treated at? I only ask because my mother is an oncology nurse at Yale New Haven and I see the relationship that she has with some of her patients and its amazing what these nurses can bring to people who are struggling to survive.
Hope she gets better.

so sorry, but try to keep a positive spirit. that can get people through the worst of things.

spacey~ she\'s down at st. vincent\'s in bridgeport. it was the closest hospital at the time.
from jill~
update in case anyone wants to know...she has an adenocarcinoma. it has also spread to her lymphatic system. so she is not a good candidate for surgery. she\'ll have to get chemo. ugh. Sad no radiation though. she\'s been having arrhythmias too but that might be due to irritation from the chest tube. as far as prognosis they still need to run more tests. she\'s getting a bone scan and a ct scan of her head today. after the chemo they might try some new drug treatments, possibly tarceva or sutent. but my sister wants her to get a 2nd opinion too which i think is a good idea. so that\'s all i know right now.
thanks once again folks for your kind words and thoughts. i\'m having a hard time holding it together (i sure as shit failed at that last night), but your words help.
