Denise G got a reaction from LaurenH in Radiation Finished....
As I stated in my introduction I was diagnosed with Stage 1A Squamous NSCLC and have just finished 10 intensive radiation sessions spread over a three week period. So far very few side effects: less energy and slightly sore rib cage. No skin problems but I've been faithfully using Miadern lotion every day. My doctors tell me no chemo is necessary. So I now settle in to play a waiting game for my 2 month CT scan. I check this forum almost daily to see what's been going on!
Tom, I read your book and cannot imagine everything you have gone through. You are one strong, determined person. I admire your courage.
My best to everyone

Susan, thanks for your welcome. I'm 94 miles east of Ft. Walton Beach in a very small town called Clarksville. All of our major doctors are in Panama City about a 45 min. drive for us. I've lived here 10 years now, having spent most of my life in South Florida, Palm Beach County.
Regards,
Denise

Yep, I'll be sure to ask him. BTY, I got a copy of your book "Scanziety" at Amazon and have downloaded it to my Kindle. I'm really looking forward to reading it.
Regards,

Hi Tom:
Thanks for your reply. I do wonder about the side effects I will have with my radiation being done in 10 sessions instead of usual 5 days a week for 6-8 weeks. It seems to be a modified SBRT. So far I can't find anyone who's had radiation done this way but, even if I did, my reaction might be totally different. And I fully intend to "stay the course" and remain as positive and upbeat as I can. So far no mention of chemo but I'll cross that bridge as I come to it. I'm taking one day at a time right now and am very grateful for the support I'm receiving from my husband and family.
Regards,
Denise
