Deborah W., CT

My husband found out he had lung cancer after trying to fight a cold. First the doctor told him he had a virus but it did not go away and turned into pneumonia. They sent him for a scan and it was the worst news ever: lung cancer. He fought for a year trying all types of chemo. None of them touched the cancer.

I would just like to tell everyone that please have yourself checked early- don't wait. My husband's cancer was too advanced when we found it. We never gave up hope. I never believed I would lose him. You need to get all your personal finances in place even if you do have a great outcome, at least you are set. Enjoy every day like it is your last and cherish all the memories you make and have.
