  1. thanks for answering me, yes i am under the care of my oncologist and had a scan in march. I also work at the same Hospital where i had my surgery and see my surgeon often. He is aware but does not have an answer for me. I had a right lobectomy. My Pulmonologist thinks it has something to to with the surgical approach and technique. It all started getting bad when i stepped up my workouts and started yoga again. Maybe i just need to lay on the couch and eat ice cream and be waited on. HAHA just kidding.
  2. Its been a year after my right Thoracotomy and chest tube under my right breast. I am still extremely numb on the upper half of my right chest with radiating to the back where the scare is. The numbness is extremely painful at times and nothing seems to help. I am an avid cyclist and work out on a regular basis which seems to exaggerate the pain and numbness. Has anyone else experienced that and what was done to make it go away. I do not want to take painmeds or have injections because that will only mask the situation and not heal it. It is however getting to me and i am getting scared that the lungcancer is coming back. I asked all my docs and they don,t know what to do. Help please
  3. Hi I am Karin, I am a NSCLC Stage IIa survivor. I was Diagnose last May, had all tests and scans and ultimately surgery in June followed by 4 cycles of chemo from July-September. I tolerated the treatments well and feel absolutely wonderful. I only am here because my sister was not as lucky as she was diagnosed way to late and ultimately passed away last April 5 month after being diagnosed. This made me go and have a scan even though I felt fine and had no symptoms. So basically my sister saved my live. I am a huge advocate for early diagnosis and still shocked how many people die of this horrific disease no it's not as "glamorous"as breast cancer which is a shame since it's cureable when found early. I do have a hard time with being a survivor. Some days are so overwhelming and I think that everybody is lying to me and that I still have cancer. I am still grieving for my sister and have a hard time with her not being here anymore. I work in the medical field which makes it very hard to cope some days. Thank you for being here
