Tom,
Still have not tried a flight. Was supposed to last week to Vegas for a business trip and chickened out. LOL
This whole experience has been horrible. Especially alone. But sure glad I have my faith.
Sorry it takes me so long to respond. Been going though tough issues.
Staying the course though. Thanks Tom
Kevin
Hello KC!
Glad you found us and very happy with your reported results. I also had pre-surgical chemo and radiation before a pneumonectomy but surgical complications meant I couldn't receive the post surgical or "dust-up" chemo and I suffered my first of three recurrences. I was stage IIIA Squamous cell NSCLC.
After you are full recovered from surgery and during your first air travel trip, you may experience pain or discomfort in your incision area. Folks often don't expect this symptom but it is more common than not. Life has indeed changed but it does not need to be different from your pre-diagnosed experience. You've gone through this rigorous treatment to allow life continuance so I believe it is important to do something worthwhile with your treatment-produced extension. So add the word enjoyment to your new normal cancer survivor status.
Stay the course.
Tom
