Hi I am 54 and have lung cancer I was a concrete driver for 22 years and got cancer from calcium powder we added to loads doing highway work. I excepted fact it does one no good to stress over all the time. I'm being strong for family I don't tell them the changes one goes through after all the chemo and radiation which I had 35 treatments , It appears to be in remission as of now I worry about going to sleep at night if I'm going to wake up in morning it took me almost a year to get over the fatigue which was worst part for now. I also have a degenerative spine and my bones are in chronic pain which I take pain meds for if I didn't I could not get out of bed in morning I'm told even if have back surgery the degenerative part won't stop so I feel I'm between rock and hard place and most people I hear have surgery with cancer once air hits cancer it's not good same happened to my brother in-law he had cancer started bleeding inside and once he was opened up to find bleeding air hit cancer within one day he passed away at 49. I'm more worried about wife and 3 kids how they will handle more than I am about myself.Everything I read most people have 5 years or less to live after diagnosed it's tough once one gets the cancer then the bills and family that kills me to. Wish everyone the best and good luck to all and your family's.
