I have read the messages and wish him all the luck in the world. He is right - we are the forgotten cancer. This illness is a very lonely place to be. I hope he can fight for our rights and I hope his operations is a complete success. Although I am still quite well, I was told that the chemotherapy ALIMTA was not expected to be a cure but if I can get another 10 years like Jack Ruda, another brave man from your web-site, I will be well satisfied. I have sent for Jack's book because he is another fighter. Good luck to all of us and god bless everyone.

Thanks for the great information. Through Dr. Jacklitsch at Brigham & Women's Hospital, he was referred to me and we have spoken on the phone.
Thanks and keep up the good fight.
