Current Diagnosis: Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has metastasized to ribs, liver and most recently to colonMy story begins in December 2007 when I was diagnosed with lung cancer. The next month I had my right lung removed followed by chemo and radiation therapy. By the summer, I was able to return to my career as a carpenter, working mainly on schools and hospitals. Almost two years to the day of my initial diagnosis, my cancer metastasized to my right ribs and more radiation and chemo followed. I have been quite fortunate in that I have typically responded well to treatment and although I???m unable to do my fairly physical job, I have lived with minor symptoms and still enjoy a basically normal lifestyle. I have been able to participate in a few clinical trials and I am confident that this type of research will help to improve the lives of many people who face a similar diagnosis. As a former smoker, I have certainly felt the stigma associated with the disease. Along my journey, there have been many ??? including those in the medical community ??? who have responded negatively when I told them I used to smoke but quit a long time ago. Few ever seem interested in the fact that I was exposed to many chemicals and asbestos in my profession. It struck me as odd that even well-informed individuals still just seemed to say "Oh well, you smoked. You're at fault." Throughout my experience with lung cancer, I have been blessed with a great support net of family and friends and have also benefited from the help offered by the various Cancer centres and volunteers. I have never felt alone in this challenge. My continued mantra is ???Remission...is coming???.
