Externally, I was unable to speak more than a few words before needing to regroup. As a matter of humorous fact, when my long-time oncology nurse, Ron, saw me that infusion day, he thought I “was a goner,” since my oxygen level was so low. Within a few hours, I was a ‘goner’ in an ambu- lance to Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Md. where I was eventually admitted.

As we sit and wait at home for my oncologist to email us the scan results, or whether we sit and wait in the on-site exam room, I wouldn’t say our respective lives pass before us, but I will certainly admit to the total unpleasantness of it. That being said, we’re the lucky ones. There are nearly 160,000 lung cancer patients who succumb to this terrible disease every year who aren’t nearly so lucky.
