Karin got a reaction from Tom Galli in numb and painful chestwall
thanks for answering me, yes i am under the care of my oncologist and had a scan in march. I also work at the same Hospital where i had my surgery and see my surgeon often. He is aware but does not have an answer for me. I had a right lobectomy. My Pulmonologist thinks it has something to to with the surgical approach and technique. It all started getting bad when i stepped up my workouts and started yoga again. Maybe i just need to lay on the couch and eat ice cream and be waited on. HAHA just kidding.

Karin got a reaction from BobbieA in Newby to cancer
Hi I am Karin, I am a NSCLC Stage IIa survivor. I was Diagnose last May, had all tests and scans and ultimately surgery in June followed by 4 cycles of chemo from July-September. I tolerated the treatments well and feel absolutely wonderful. I only am here because my sister was not as lucky as she was diagnosed way to late and ultimately passed away last April 5 month after being diagnosed. This made me go and have a scan even though I felt fine and had no symptoms. So basically my sister saved my live. I am a huge advocate for early diagnosis and still shocked how many people die of this horrific disease no it's not as "glamorous"as breast cancer which is a shame since it's cureable when found early. I do have a hard time with being a survivor. Some days are so overwhelming and I think that everybody is lying to me and that I still have cancer. I am still grieving for my sister and have a hard time with her not being here anymore. I work in the medical field which makes it very hard to cope some days. Thank you for being here
