Good morning all, 

just a quick question I had Pneumonectomy and when biopsy came back I had clear margins/markers and 1 node inside lung, I am starting chemotherapy (adjuvant) a week on Wednesday but my question is, could it have spread to the brain unbeknownst and will the doctors check for this as understand chemotherapy won’t mop up anything in the brain. I have no symptoms but it’s just something else I’ve given myself to be paranoid about.

 
Thanks

  • I have had lung cancer 3times  but they eventually removed the power part of my right lung , but as I am Not allowed chemo at all ,but as far as my experiences go if it's already in your Brain they would tell you . Hope this helps

  • Thank you Paul, I know everything was ok I think I am just giving myself unnecessary worry at this point getting paranoid

  • Ive had 5 different cancers  over the past 15 years and msy have one now , but paranoyers part of it and believe me ive been paranoyed over the time but i do feel that keeping a positive attutude helpsx

  • You are right and continue with the positive attitude Paul I really do believe it helps, I just have my moments then slap myself lol

  • We all feel like that Tracey, especially at the treatment stage you are. As Paul says, try to think positive (although I know it's not always that easy) and if needed give your head a little shake every now and then.

    You'll be just fine.

    Derek.
