Hi,
My name is Joe, 47 yr old. I showed a spot on my lung xray in Nov 02 which turned out to be a cavity on the right lung and was told it was 90% TB. All test showed negative for cancer and TB. Even though the cavity was shrinking with medication, under advice from my Dr. I decided to have a lobectomy on 1/23/03 and was then told it was NSCLC. 12 days later middle section of lung twisted and became gangrenous and had to have another lobectomy. Same incision used just made larger. Finally released 02/17/03 a total of 25 days. Never was told a stage, but I don't need chemo or radiation. Two questions. Feels like something was left inside me, does this feeling ever go away? What are mets?
Thanks and nice to know there is someone else out there.
Joe
