I don't know if your mom is the "type" to want to have support of a community in a similar situation but my dad had lung cancer and he joined Inspire.com and found the message boards there to be a haven away from the pain he saw in friends and family. It was a place he could be himself and talk about treatments and cancer and not get pity or consolations, which he hated.
Please PM if you ever want to talk. I have been there
ProfessorArtNerd, please let me know if I can help. I cannot recommend Fox Chase highly enough, if she's looking at options. I'm sorry and I'm here for anything you need.

So, so sorry. Such an overwhelming diagnosis. My aunt is an advanced lung cancer survivor and my fil had early stage and is doing great. Treatments are advancing every day. Best wishes to your mom and your family.
Oh, PAN I'm so sorry to hear this. Prayers that they caught it early and she will kick its butt! My dad had lung cancer 9 years ago - he's down half a lung but has been great since then. It's so scary to hear those words though and go through it. Hugs.
