Surgery not an option

Hello there

so sorry about your situation, I think the location of the cancer is the key to suitability for surgery & unfortunately if yours is in your bronchial tube this would prevent surgery . I was recently diagnosed & had a lobectomy for adenocarcinoma . No symptoms, picked up on a scan for something completely different ! Pulmonologist duly followed up with a re scan after 6 months & nodule had grown. Confirmed adenocarcinoma when frozen section taken while I was anaesthetised & proceeded to lobectomy on 30th dec. I only know it’s adenocarcinoma , will find out on the 28th this month what stage. Surgeon (who is brilliant !) is sure there is no lymph involvement but may need some chemo/radiotherapy. I really think your drs will do everything they can for you & chemo has gotten so much better. I read some of the posts on here & I am blown away by peoples bravery & courage !! Makes me feel like this is a great group to offload on. My husband is almost ignoring what is going on with me so I end up supporting him. I’ve been told off by my GP for doing to much & now have agreed to still stay active but not trying to clean the house from top to bottom ! No wonder im sore !!  Sorry for the essay !! But please stay positive & Im sure you will get all the support & help you need xxx

1. Hi being inoperable isn't the end of it so dont dwell on it too much easier said than done i know,  i have stage 4 adenocarcinoma effects my lung ,adrenal glands and lymph system. My only choice was immunotherapy and radiotherapy and its kept me stable for 14 month's now i feel ok other than fatigue, good luck ask your team questions. 

You said it better than anyone !!! Xx
