Teresa, 
And I Third Susan & Judy's wish. But, do get to a doctor. Your collarbone pain and the way it is displaced suggests a possible fracture. People with broken collarbones also have difficulty breathing. 
Let us know about the outcome. 
Stay the course.

Hi Merilee.  Not exactly what you asked for but close !
I was diagnosed with Stage 3 B lung cancer in December 1997.  The tumor was in my R upper lobe, pressing on nerves going down my arm
and on the lining of the lung.  I had chemo-- Cisplatin, Etopiside and daily radiation, it shrunk and I was able to have my R upper lobe removed.  After
surgery I had more Cisplatin and Etopiside.   I had scans every 3 months for a while than they backed down finally to once a year.  After many years they quit that also.
Back in 1997 I thought I had a death sentence.  Guess what !  I am still here !  It is possible.

Hello Martin I'm glad to know there is someone else out there who has heard of this particular clinical trial. I am nervous yet excited all at once. Nervous that I may have wasted precious time if my body does not respond like the more conventional treatments yet excited that if the results are heading in a positive direction I can live without all the nasty side effects. Please do let me know if this is the course of treatment you have chosen. Best wishes in your fight. 

Thank you all so much for your comments.  It's people like you that makes everything worth while.  It's amazing, I have found that strangers are kinder, concerned and helpful than my family.  When I'm in Walmart, riding on the cart, I can't tell you how many people want to help me to get things from the top shelf.  By the time my shopping trip has ended, I'm tired, and have a difficult time breathing. The kind words, have actually brought me to tears.  
 
Randy, I went to your memory site for Deborah.  The love you had for your is astounding.  God Bless! 

It gets better. If you are on a once every three week plan, then the third week usually is pretty good. Best to you. Don

Thank you so much for sharing and commenting on my introduction, I read your profile and found it very interesting and hopeful. I went for another scan the other day due to me still having pain,which us now thought to be due to.my surgery. There was an enlargement of a few lymph nodes which scares me. Before this dx., I had been on three antibiotics the past year for Mac. I am hoping it I'd inflammation. But as all of you know everything is questioned..Will update after i see pulmonary Dr. Take care all

Welcome here Renee!
 
Oh, I like those words "significant shrinkage"!  I like them a lot!  It has been a while but I've been to La Crosse.  It had this island in the Mississippi called French Island, I think, and when I was there, Wisconsin and Minnesota were arguing over who owned what.  Seemed the river either deposited or eroded some of the land in the Island....
 
Glad you found us and look forward to hearing more "significant shrinkage" reports!
 
Stay the course.
