Early stage lung cancer

Hi

Radiotherapy continues to work on the cancer for some time after the last session, which is why they wait for a while before m doing a ct scan.

Many on here have had that same waiting time.  I appreciate in can be a difficult period but please be re-assured that this is a normal  practice.

I hope this helps a bit.

Yes you have helped a lot. Thank you for taking the time to reassure  me .

Hi I am at the stage you are now but I have my CT scan on the 13th and the wait can be unbearable waiting to see what is next. I am 63 and when they gave me the news I had combined cancer and surgery was out of the equation I just wanted the floor to open up and swallow me as I was planning to see my great-grandchildren but that's been taken away from me now. The radiation continues to keep working and doing its job for a while after treatment that's why it's a while before we can have our scans to see what's happening to it, it's normal. 

I found for me the best way to cope was to have anything they offer and not to think about the cancer while on treatment because its there and I can't do anything about it. My life is in the hands of others so I am going to live life to the full and take day by day and upto now it is working for me.

Don't let the cancer control your life you control it and cry and shout when you need to but have a good time doing what you want. Hugs and kisses Jean xxx

Thank you so much for taking the time to reassure me, that is very kind of you. I am doing exactly as you say living my normal life. I am 76 years old but fit I'm out and about every day, I was gutted as well when they said surgery was out of the question, but now I have come  to be as you said fight till the end. Once again thank you so much for taking the time to message me.take care love Evelyn xx

Hi Evelyn

Any time you want to talk or sound off I'm will be here. I'm glad you are living your life and not letting th big C word take control because it can be easy to do that. What you have to think is that it's there we can't doing much about it except let the experts help us with everything they have. You look after yourself and remember there is always someone one here to talk to. Love Jean xx

Hi Jean thank you so much for making me feel so much better, knowing I'm not alone fighting this horrible illness. Hope you get the news you want to hear after your scan. Please let me know  I will be praying for you to be fully recovered.

Love and kisses

Hi Jean 

Take care and message me with your results. I will speak to you soon. Love Evelyn xx

Hello I had operation 5 weeks ago to try and remove 2cm tumer but unfortunately they found to many markers and nodules on the wall of my right lung so it was not a success .  I've had to wait for my wounds to heal before I can start any treatment. The surgeon told me it's aggressive but shouldn't spread fingers crossed .  Got an appointment this Tuesday to see the consultant 

Oh that's awful, hope you get some good news from your consultant. Keep living your life as normal never give in to this terrible disease. Let me know if everything goes well.
