As a survivior the only thing I have to worry about is pollution & chemicals in the air. If breathe in it cause my lung to feel heavy & hard to breathe as if not getting any oxygen in my lungs.

I had 2/3 of my left lung removed for adenocarcinoma in 2015. We are now following a small growth in what's left of that lung. It's position and size do not allow for a biopsy, so I don't know if it is a return of the cancer or something else. Playing a waiting game for now.

I had cancer in my right upper lobe and had that part removed and am cancer free for 4 months. I go back in May for Ct scan.

I have developed a cold and have some congestion and don't know whether to be alarmed or not.

Also I had a mammogram done about 3 weeks ago and now have to have diagnostic mammo and ultrasound done on my left breast. I am a little concerned about that also.

Thank you all for listening.

One year ago cancer was removed with my right upper lobe,late stage 1. I live for every 3-month scan to plan my life. So far, just two miniscule nodules, no lymph nodes affected. 4 more yeras and no cancer coming back will give me a relatively good chance to kick cancer's butt!!!
