lung cancer , dysplasia, and PNI

[Susie215]

I had surgery to remove right upper lobe for greater than 3 cm squamous cell lung cancer. Margins were free of invasive cancer but I have high grade dysplasia areas in bronchial margins and also have PNI which is peri neural invasion. They discussed you chemo for this. Anyone else’s have these things?

Suzie215, my apologies for taking so long to get back. I’ve not had dysplasia in my lungs or bronchus and had to research PNI. From what I learned I hope your doctors will follow with CTs every 2-3 months and watch that closely.

Perhaps someone at the Go2 Lung Cancer Helpline can give you better information. 800.298.2436.

thank you. I also found out I have cancer in situ left after lobe removal. I am going to have to go to another city for some kind of ablation treatment for that

Thank goodness they found the in situ cells before they became cancer. I would be interested in learning about your ablation experience. Sending hope this is the last treatment you ever need.

will let you know. I think it is called Photo Dynamic Therapy. PDT. I read about it and it causes major photosensitivity of eyes and skin due to the IV drug they inject you body with. You have to cover your whole body for up to 2 months. Can’t even be in any bright light indoors. This will suck
