Our Story: On January 21, 2009, after a number of doctors visits stemming from a persistent holiday cough, our dad was diagnosed with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer. As a result, our dad underwent a variety of tests, scans and second and third opinions, which all confirmed the original diagnosis. This diagnosis was both shocking and devastating as our dad has never been a smoker and has been in excellent health his entire life. So, what we thought to be a simple cough that would not go away over the Christmas holiday, turned out to be a diagnosis that has rocked our family's world...click here to read more

Hi Everyone,

My dad had a PET scan done yesterday, 5/7/09, and he received the results this morning.  The mass on his left lung is considerably smaller in size and less intense in activity!  The tumor has shrunk from 9.2 units to 5.7 units!! 

So, it looks like the treatment is working wonderfully!  We are so happy and we just wanted to share this great news with all our supporters!!  Thank you so much for your prayers, love, and generosity!

Love,

The Loncar Family
