Thank god you've got your life back. Thank-you for your message,  fingers crossed it's nothing. I'll keep pushing for tests. Xx

Hi Sharza

Can I ask if you were offered radiotherapy?   My husband has a 10cm sarcoma in the upper part of his lung and he has to decide between radiotherapy and surgery.  We really don't know which option to choose. He had radiotherapy for the original sarcoma back in 2021 followed by surgey to remove the necrotic tissue and we were expecting the same this time.  

Gosh - that's tricky.

I was only offered surgery as they thought they could remove the tumour entirely without the need for radiotherapy.

My tumour was adenocarcinoma not a sarcoma.

Sorry not to be more helpful. All I can suggest is that you discuss the pros and cons of each. Hope you get the answers you need to make the best decision. 

PS - I had a lobectomy.

Thank you. We have an appointment with surgeon next week to discuss possible surgery.  The consultant at the cancer centre wasn't much help and didn't discuss the radiotherapy option in much detail.  How did you find the surgery and recovery after?  I think the idea of lung surgery is quite scary at the moment. 

 I would suggest your husband leaves a message (or makes an appointment) with his GP to ask the GP to request the chest Xray be rechecked for any signs of lung cancer and also discuss the ongoing symptoms and what the next steps are.

For his own peace of mind he needs to make that appointment or give you permission to make that appointment.   I hope you and your husband get to the bottom of this 

Well, I was fortunate to be dealt with by an excellent surgeon at a wonderful London hospital. It all went very well (op on Wednesday, home on Saturday and making lunch on Sunday).

My recovery has been fine - I went back to Zumba around 2 months after the surgery and I feel fine now.

I wasn't scared as I trusted my surgeons and medical team to take good care of me and they did and continue to do so. I'm very grateful.

Wishing you all the best

Thank you.  That is more reassuring that what we have read online and imagined.  So pleased everything has gone so well and wishing you a continued recovery.  X

Google can be frightening but it's also educational.

Thank you for your kind wishes hope all goes well with you.
