Hi, I'm Joyce, and yes I have lung cancer. The first time was 9/2011, Stage 1A, NSCC, adenocarcinoma with no mutations. They removed two right lobes and no chemo or radiation, Received CT scans every 3 months. January 2014, reappeared in the remaining right lobe. PET scan, and both spots were ''hot''. Received 2 more PET scans before they did a needle biopsy, which by the way came back Stage 1A, NSCC. I am NOT a candidate for surgery, as I have severe COPD and on oxygen 24/7.
In December, 2014 began radiation (small doses) to minimize damage to surrounding area. Went 5 days a week for 8 weeks. The tumors shrunk by 38%. I have been informed I'm not a candidate for chemo due to the size and my health.
Where do I go from here? I still have lung cancer, and it is a wait and watch, scheduled to get CT in June.
