Hi.    When I was first diagnosed I was told the docs would try to shrink my tumor enough to gain me some time.   Well 5 years later I just had my check up and there is no sign of cancer.  It had taken over my right lung and was in the chest cavity . Up until now I have sat here and waited for it to come back.  Stats say 80% get it back within 5 years and die from it.  After being hospitalized for a lung infection I am comfortable saying the cancer is gone.  I read a post about the 10 things I wish I knew and I can say I finally understand what I have been going thru.   I have been afraid to do things.  I have felt lazy and depressed and very much alone.  Afraid to make friends.  It is nice to know I am not alone in these feelings. I very much isolated myself. I will work on that reading that it is normal to feel these and work on them
