Nancy T. <p>The words you never want to hear, 'you have cancer,' I've heard twice in my life and each time my heart sank. What I couldn't see then was how it would end up making my heart flourish. Cancer was not new to my family. We've seen loved ones survive

Nancy M. August 2010 I went to my primary physician after experiencing tremors/painful tingling sensation in my left arm above my elbow. These would literally jump to my rib cage under my left breast.

Nancy H. I was an extremely active, healthy 62 year old in April of 2012. I was skiing in Colorado and had, what I thought, was altitude sickness. It wasn't. When I returned to our winter home in Florida, I was told that it was probably stress but I was given

Nancy D. It always happens to someone else...until it happens to you. Besides, my doctor had said I could wait TWO years now between physicals...”picture of health”! Never a smoker...a “young” and active 64 year old... Then, on the morning of Tuesday, Februar

Nancy C. My lung cancer story began almost exactly eight months ago. As is the case for many of us, it was found not through routine screening. For a couple of days, I experienced sharp pain in my side and it hurt to take a deep breath. My message to anyone w

Nance K. I was always aware that smoking could cause lung cancer, but always you think it will not happen to you! I was part of an experimental program, to do the scan for three years.
