Hi. My mom has lung cancer and it has spread to her brain and sacrum. She was diagnosed 2 yrs ago and has gone through hell. She's had chemo and radiation. Although she's been told that there's no hope and nothing more they can do, we still believe in miracles. People may think that is foolish or denial but we are "beliver's" and that's what keeps us going. God can do miracle's and our faith has been our only strength. I hope this helps some what!
