My diagnosis

I was diagnosed December 2013 and first treatment for chemotherapy was Feb 2014. I had 33-36 doses and one month of radiotherapy.

CT scan revealed a cancer operated on August 2018.

Its 2019 now and I am now due my third dose of immunotherapy soon. A CT scan will be next to see how I am progressing.

Apart from a little cough I am feeling great and back to three times a week at the local Gym! after my recuperating period!!

Kind regards to all

Petrabbit hi i'm glad your feeling better I hope the immunotherapy takes care of it. I had cancer twice 8 years ago had breast cancer it was early and just had a mastectomy and no treatments sorry I was on tamoxifen. 2years later I had lung cancer removed my upper left lobe had stage 3in lympnodes done 6months of chemo no radiation and I am now 6year lung cancer survivor. I wish you the best and hope you make it thru the immunotherapy cancer free. I tell everyone to have hope and don't give up keep fighting. Things can get better and believe. Love susiejo1948

Dear Petrabit, first of I pray to Almighty God to restore you to full health.

Your case is different than my wife's case

My wife was 82 years old.

As you are young please take doctors advice and let us know about your progress.

God Bless you m y dear.

Hi Petra, would you mind me asking what type of lung cancer you was diagnosed with your story really gives me hope.
