On May 13, 2011, our mother, Cindy, was diagnosed with stage 4 Non small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma). She has never smoked a day in her life. Since being diagnosed, as a self-employed and charitable family law attorney she continued to work hard for others in need. We sincerely thank you for your contribution, prayers, and support for our mother.

Inspire.com an invaluable resource for Cancer patients and their loved ones.

I want to share with you a website that has helped my mom and I through this journey of living with cancer. It is so incredibly helpful to have other around you who understand the new feelings that are experienced when you first find out you or a loved one has cancer. It is an amazing place to raise questions, discuss fears and anxiety, and it is an incredible place of finding hope and strength. It is a discussion board website where people share their stories, and help each other find solutions, encouragement, faith, and again an endless sense of hope. It is a support group and full of information. You can ask any question and there are so many people their to help and give love.

The site is www.inspire.com It is an open discussion forum relating to any illness or problem that you may suffer or want to know about. Of course, we are signed up for th lung cancer support group and more specifically, the Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Stage 4 group. It is truly inspiring and I encourage any one who needs a friend or has questions about something to join the group and talk to others who share your concerns or may help because they have answers (whether through experience or research), knowledge of treatment options and centers, and for encouragement and support.

"Inspiration can be found in the kind word of a stranger or in the story of someone struggling with a common problem."

 The website "Inspire builds online health and wellness communities for patients and caregivers, in partnership with national patient advocacy organizations, and helps life science organizations connect with these highly engaged populations"

Go to www.inspire.com

Go with God.
