I wish mine hasn't I was Cancer free for 15 months then on October 27th there was something a Swollen Lymph Node was seen on a CT Scan as my Oncologist called it. So I had a Pet Scan Showed a less than 1cm on my Left Upper Lobe. So a Biopsy ordered and is Small Cell Lung Cancer both are Limited and Contained.
I was told that I had Adenocarcinoma of the lung NSCLC. No mention of squamous or not. It's not and never has been in either of my lungs, just supraclavical lymph nodes and one node in my throat area and then months later, while no longer in the nodes it showed up in my pari-cardial effusions, probably also in my plural effusions too but they weren't tested.... Was never told what stage and I don't need to know either.. All I do know is that I'm fighting it and enjoying life as much as I can...
I'm told both mine were caught early. The second was from my 6 month CT Scan. My next Scans end of February. Since Radiation is done as will be my second bout doing Chemotherapy.
I have nsclc that is squamous cell carcinoma. Seems I was extremely lucky enough for them to catch is while it was still StageI. However, the downside is they are going to totally remove my right lung just to make sure they get it all. As you could imagine, I just can't wait for that.
I did not but they have given me a choice to do a round after the surgery to make sure they got all of the cancer and I am going to do it. I want this stuff completely gone from me.
They said could not do surgery just chemo to prolong life but with chemo there is barely life.. Mom was a walking corpse black stool pale white can't breathe... Until said enough and better after 1 week and that was no quality of life..
Two years ago today I had my left lung removed. Today I am cancer free. I did not need chemo however did have one treatment. You do not need two lungs. I do tire easier but that is a small price to be. Hugs
10th June 2014 right lung removed, adenocarcinoma stage 2A, followed by chemo. All well so far with lung but had unrelated prostate cancer 2016 successfully treated and all check-ups OK so far.
I beat it 5 years ago. I had no radiation, nor chemo. Instead, I opted to have the operation right away. Afterwards, I was cancer free, and needed no treatments. I still go for check ups, but that's it. So yes, you really can beat lung cancer!
Yes, Yes, Non Small Cell
Yes, im free of lung cancer, had my op in july last year.
Every surgery you survive is successful, I'd say.
Yes and yes.. Non small can come back and as small cell mine did.
Yes I am two years out. Non small cell. Half a lung gone but cancer free
My non small cell came back too.
Yes! Absolutely
Sure. 3 years out. God is good!
My non small cell came again as small cell lung Cancer.
What is a non small cell? I’m sorry I’m really new to this
Non small cell is operable and small cell is not. Small cell is more aggressive and spreads or can. Mine hasn't as of yet.
Haven't heard of NSC coming back as SC, wow..

No if you have adeno you dint have squamous... İ have that .
So how did it get to your node, if not in the lung. Your blood ?
My grandmother has adeno and nsc.

4 years cancer free struggle daily with fear but have to stay positive
I apologise for the negative comments. Was at a very low time in this process and angry mostly at myself.. Plse forgive
stage iv NSCLC, ULL removed, spread to multiple other areas, had chemo, now on radiation and immunotherapy
I beat it 5 years ago. I had no radiation, nor chemo. Instead, I opted to have the operation right away. Afterwards, I was cancer free, and needed no treatments. I still go for check ups, but that's it. So yes, you really can beat lung cancer!
