Hi Marty, welcome to the forum but sorry for why you're here. I also have lung cancer, along with some other cancers, but so far I'm still kicking. I have had two major lung surgeries, (same lung) and now I have the cancer back in that lung. I'm waiting now to see what the plan is. I can't have chemo because when I had it before (for colon cancer) it nearly killed me. My blood levels went right out of sight and they can't give it to me again. It will likely be radiation because the surgeon said she can't operate on that lung again. I'm going to ask her when I see her again, why she didn't just take the lung out the first time around. I also have bladder cancer. Well hey, I guess I never did do anything half way before, why start now?

Has your treatment team suggested radiation for you? There may be other treatment options available for lung cancer, but I'm not sure what they may be. I hope they come up with something for you soon and get you back on your feet. Come back on the forum and let us know how you are getting along. I wish you well and good luck with whatever treatment they recommend.

Take care.

Hi Lorraine, you have a lot going on. I don't understand why they can't remove the lung. I done one 8 hour chemo. It made me so sick I thought I was dying. I started all natural stuff. I have been on that since April. It seems to be doing ok. Now it's just these blood clots. I was originally suppose to have 4 chemo and two weeks of radiation everyday.

Hi, My name is Laura and I was diagnoised with stage 3A lung cancer.In the upper lobe,and the upper lobe was removed. So far I have been doing good,but just dont know what to do with myself any more! I had a lot of chemo, radiation and surgery.................The good news is I am cancer free! :)

Im not sure how to use this site, so I may not be able to come back.............It keeps telling me wrong things like my email is already beiong used and the name is to.......................I just made the name myself....................

Laura, I am so sorry for your cancer but am glad you are cancer free. Did you have it in your lymph nodes? They took 12 of mine & 8 were cancer. Hit the one that says sign in now & it will ak for your username & password. Sometimes mine takes a few mins.
