Welcome Christy,
I know your concern and your worry very well. I don't think anyone could have been more afraid than I was. In January of 2005 I also was diagnosed Stage 3A with two affected lymph nodes in my chest and a tumor in my upper right lobe. I had daily radiation for 6 weeks with weekly chemo (carbo/taxol). At the end of the 6 weeks the CT scan showed that the tumor had all but disappeared. I had surgery and had my upper right lobe removed, 20 lymph nodes and one rib bone. After surgery on July 1, 2005 I had two more chemo sessions. At the end of August I was back at work teaching high school. I just had got the results of my last CT chest and brain scan today. They show NED=No Sign of Disease. God Is Good!!!
