Hi D and welcome. I was stage 3B diagnosed Dec. 3 , 1997. I had a tumor in the apex of my upper R lung.
It was pressing on nerves going down my arm and pressing on the lining of my lung. No positive lymph nodes,
no metastasis.
I started with lots of chemo and daily radiation. Next they did take my lobe of lung . After I had more chemo.
I am still here. When they took out my lung I asked the Doctor about the tumor and he said it was all dead. I did
have chemo after because that was the plan from the first. If you go to my story you can find my journey in more detail.
It is possible to survive . I pray you also respond well to the chemo. It is tough but I did survive.
