Adenocarcinoma Lung Cancer

Hi Sweet, welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. It is such a shock when you receive a cancer diagnoses. Surgery is the best option for a cure, and people seem to recover very quickly. There are a couple of people in the group who have had surgery, and hopefully one of them will be along soon to chat with you x 

Hello Sweet, I had my right lung removed in 2014 but was, at 57, not as young as you are. Despite a couple of unrelated issues since I continue to do well and surgery gives you by far the best route to a cure. I was petrified of the operation but it was nothing like I had feared and I'm sure you will also find this to be the case. You should be discharged and back home within days all being well.

My recommendation for after surgery is to follow all advice given including exercises and walking which will make your recovery as quick and successful as possible. 

I wish you all the best for a successful outcome, if you have any questions now or later just ask.

Derek.

I’m 47 just finished treatment for another cancer and waiting to have a lopectomy as well as I have suspected sane diagnosis as yourself 

Good evening everyone 

Thank you for getting back to me and your kind support. I had one lobectomy done last month where they removed the lump and middle lobe.  They need to do another lobectomy next week to remove the lower lobe too.  I’m still sore and recovering from the first procedure.  Has any needed Chemotherapy or Radio therapy after the procedure? 

Has anybody had cancer returning? 

Truly wish everyone the best xx

Hi Sweet, I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with lung cancer at 44. It feels very young to have any cancer doesn't it. I was also 44 when I was diagnosed with cancer, although mine at that time was breast cancer that was very advanced. Like you I was very shocked and scared but I am now 64 and still here. I remember them saying at the time that as I was so young and fit, they would "throw everything at it" to give me the best chance.  And so they did. I had a mastectomy and chemotherapy and radiotherapy which was absolutely brutal. It was so worth going through it though. I had a very positive attitude at the time and I'm sure that helps. 

I have now been diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer of the lung which is unrelated to the breast cancer and again I too am very scared but I have found comfort and hope by joining this group and reading the positive stories that these brave people are telling. 

I am sure your medical team will "throw everything at it" in your case and you too will still be here when you are 64! 

All good wishes to you for your forthcoming treatment.

Hello Sweet,

I can't offer any advice as I am in the same situation as you!

I am stage T2 after being diagnosed  last December, and having my surgery on left upper lobe and lymph glands on Thursday.

We must keep strong and positive, and have so many wonderful warriors like chelsimo here to h help us and guide us through.

Love and hugs xx
