  1. My first chemo is going to be this coming thursday ....im a bit scared about how i will feel and how long before my hair will start falling out Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

  4. Do you know what the difference is between 3 A and 3B stage ? I havent had my visit yet to ask Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
  5. I got a copy of the letter my oncologist sent to my gp and it states that i have 111A stage and negative for mutations an i was going to be given 4 rounds of cisplatin and vinorelbine chemo but decided because i have diabetes and heart disease and this combination can cause neuropathy and as a high volume of fluid is required and that can put a strain on the heart so the better choice would be to have 6 cycles of carboplatin and gemcitabine which he said is equally effective....i hope so ..

  7. I smoked for about 30 yrs with a few give ups but then mum got lung cancer and watching her with surgery and then oxygen at home was enough for me to give up but that was 17 yrs ago and now ive got lung cancer but maybe if i hadnt given up when i did i may have gotten the cancer years ago Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
  8. Im just wondering about how long after a lobecromy would chemo start ? I had my surgery on jan 5th and been told I'll be having chemo but havent received my appointment for this yet and getting worried that its not quick enough to get this treatment .... Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

  10. Sorry just realized i had already asked about mutations and that you gave an answer Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
  11. Thanks tom and im wondering about mutations and what it means because it sounds like its a good thing but i dont know why ? Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
  12. Hi tom i had the lower lobe removed and a wedge at the top also on the 5th jan this year and all surrounding tissue was clear except for 7 /20 lymph nodes had cancer in them so thats the reason for the chemo .the oncologist called it adjuvant chemo but im not sure what that means entirely .

  13. Ive read some posts where people say Unfortunately i dont have any mutations .....what is a mutation and why is it good to have that ? Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
  14. I had my first oncology appointment today and my lung cancer is nsclc stage 3 and i will start chemo within the next 2 weeks and it will be with Gemsitabine and Carboplatin and for 6 rounds of day 1 then day 8 then day 22 so anyone had these 2 chemos? I dont get why stage 3 because when i was being booked for surgery i was told it was at a curable stage then told there was cells in 7/20 lymph nodes Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
  15. I was told they took 20 nodes out and 7 had cancer cells in them so made me think about just how many nodes are in there Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
  16. Does anyone know how many lymph nodes are in our lungs ? Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
  17. Now i can see it better ...well done
  18. Its good to hear that i may not lose my hair at least that would be something positive in this journey
  19. I cant see the photo mary ....what do I do to see it ?
  20. Yes they have both helped my fear tremendously and i truly appreciate it
  21. So sorry for the pain you went through because my pain was the worst id experienced and my lobectomy and wedge section was bad enough but sounds like you went to hell and back with what you went through
  22. Did you have a lobectomy before starting chemo mary ? Or just doing radiation and chemo ? And thankyou for your prayers too
  23. I hope i get to have 3 weeks between doses of chemo and did your hair all fall out with your treatment? Ive heard that not everyone loses their hair does that sound right ?
  24. My sarcoma will be followed for 10 yrs they told me but my lung cancer is a primary so its not related to the sarcoma which strange as it sounds i grateful because sarcoma is harder to treat. How long before my hair will fall out do you think ? Im going to get a wig early on lol
