Hi Donna

 

Thanks for responding.  I am a bit over a year out from surgery.  Off pain meds.  Targeted therapy was not mentioned so far.  The only thing in my reports that might be targetable was the EGFR Wild type and I am looking into that on the Internet.  Have a CT scan in two weeks.  So far things are pretty good but last time 3 mos ago something appeared which from the reports seemed to be related to a bit of fluid at the site of the surgery turned up.  The something was a small air pocket at the top of that lung.  I asked what it meant but got the "Let's see in 3 mos story"  So the next one is "three mos" and I guess I will know more.  I am concerned.  I am unhappy that my oncologist is so un-forthcoming. Also have an appointment that week for a second opinion.  My chest has been pretty much OK but a little tight for the last 6 mos which I also mentioned to my oncologist with not much response.  It also allergy season (severe) here and post-nasla drip time.  So I will see and compare what she has to say with the 2nd op.  Thanks Again

Hi I'm Angie

I am 72, Diagnosed with Stage II adenocarcinoma January 2014, right lower lobectomy in February.  No chemotherapy or radiation.  So far so good but concerned in case I need chemo in the future as I have another condition that might make that touchy.  Does anyone know if there are targeted or immune therapies for lung cancer at this time?
