Hello Meloni, sorry for such a late reponse. I was 3a because it had spread to a center lymph node. I finished 7 rounds of chemo and 35 radiation sessions concurrently and 6 weeks ago had an upper right lobectomy. They removed all the cancer but the doctors are still wondering if i should do a couple more rounds of chemo to be on the safe side.

Thanks Yovana, may I ask how you are doing since your diagnosis? I finished 7 weeks of chemo and radiation followed by a right upper lobectomy. I'm 6 weeks post-op and waiting to hear if the doctors think i should do more chemo or if I'm clear.

My name is Brandon, I'm 29 years old and living in California. I have just been diagnosed with stage 3a NSCLC adenocarcinoma in my upper right lung. I begin treatment next week of radiation and chemo(taxol/carbo) for 7 weeks. I don't see many others my age with this diagnoses and I really don't know what to expect, I have never smoked a day in my life and this diagnosis has kind flipped my world upside down.
