Taindee Swords
<P><FONT face=Arial>My name is Taindee Swords and I just turned 31 on Sunday, Sept. 17th. I was diagnosed with Stage 3b non-small cell large carcinoma lung cancer on August 22, 2005. I have lived with this disease for 1 month and one year. I am currentlly on Tarceva and my 3rd round of chemo regimines. The Tarceva appears to be working, my cancer shrank some, but I have gotten all of the side effects that go with it. I am honored to be a part of this website and I am glad that there is something out there for people our age. I haven't met a single soul my age and wanted to connect with someone online.</FONT></P>

Tori was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in April 2003. Attending college away from home, she traveled to all of her appointments alone, including a lengthy drive each month to see a specialist. Toni’s health and emotional well-being deteriorated, and she returned home to recover. On her arrival, she cared for her sister, who suffers from MS, and began working at a daycare facility. Tori found within herself a sense of empathy and determination she didn’t realize she possessed before her diagnosis, and she continually strives to instill all she’s gained in others. Read Tori's story and more at The Voices of Survivorship.
