Hi everyone, my name is Lisa and I was diagnosed with stage 3a adenocarcinoma of the upper right lung on July 29th. I will be starting treatments on Monday which will be cisplatin/alimpta (sp) with 35 rounds of radiation 5/week. All this is with the hopes to get me to surgery. I will have a mediastinal surgery to check lymph nodes after radiation. I now have two nodes involved and one sits on my pulmonary artery. If cancer is found than no surgery. I am so scared, I am 46 years old and the closer treatment gets the more scared I become. Anyone have any huge side effects on these two drugs? Also anyone with stage 3a adenocarcinoma that can add some positive reinforcement for me? Thank you all!
