[Mri scan]

Oh no Justin, so sorry to hear of these complications. I hope that the drs will have answers for you and that you regain the use of your right side. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. And happy belated birthday.

[Good PET Scan Results]

So happy for your good news June.

[Good news, everything is ok.]

What a relief for you and your mom. Glad that it was nothing to be concerned about.

[6 month scans]

Hi everyone. Had my 6 month chest/abdomen CT scan and brain MRI on Tuesday. The chest/abdomen are looking great. The brain…not so well. I have a 3mm metastasis deposit in the left temporal lobe. I have an apt on this coming Tuesday with my radiation oncologist and the cyber knife surgeon. Wish me luck.

[MRI results are stable]

That is really awesome Karen. So happy for you.

[Another scare. Really hoping the cancer hasn't returned]

Praying that there is just suspicion caused by her cold and nothing more. I agree that she should get imaging results to show her drs at home. Praying for you both.

[Testing the system]

I see the post.

[CT SCAN WITH CONTRAST]

I’m so sorry you are experiencing these seizures Justin. I have not had gamma knife surgery so I have no comparison for you. Hoping and praying that the oncology team/nurse will have some answers for you. Hang in there and take care.

[CT scan]

That is good news that you have the seizures under control Justin. Praying that you get good news with your scan and that it doesn’t take that long to get your results.

[Lung Cancer]

Hi Sallyanne. I had 30 daily radiation treatments along with chemo for my Sclc. My esophagus also got inflamed and I had difficulty swallowing and heartburn. My radiologist prescribed famotidine and a Benadryl,maalox,lidocaine mixture that numbed the throat and esophagus for about 30 minutes so I could eat. I am 8 months out from finishing radiation and only have the heartburn that I am still dealing with. On ct scan my esophagus does show some thickening but drs are not concerned. Hope you will find some relief.

[Newly diagnosed Poorly Differentiated Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (right lung); likely Stage IV]

Hi Lahalsa. I too was diagnosed with Sclc in the upper right lung with a 1.1 cm nodule and 2.2 cm hilar adenopathy. Biopsy showed other lymph nodes as negative for malignancy. I was staged as 3B but limited stage as was only in right lung. I had 4 rounds of chemo (carboplatin and etoposide) and started 30 sessions of daily radiation with my second round. I received a steroid and anti nausea meds before my chemo and didn’t experience any ill side effects besides fatigue and hair started falling out so shaved my head. I too always had hair down the middle of my back but losing it is a small price to pay to continue living. It is growing back…different color and curly! My nodule and hilar lymph have shrunk and I am considered stable now. I was diagnosed in Nov 2021, started treatment in Dec and completed chemo and radiation in Feb. I have CT of chest/abdomen and mri of brain coming up Oct 18 and hoping for continued stability. As LilyMir said, if you can take some medical leave do it so you can rest and stay strong to fight this. I also ate lots of fruits and veges. You have got this and we are all here for you. Stay strong!

[My updates (22 Years old, NSCLC)]

Yay Ale! Good luck with the keytruda.

[My updates (22 Years old, NSCLC)]

Praying for good scan results for you Ale.

[Quarterly CT scan: Celebrate with me]

Awesome news Karen! So happy for you.

[Starting Tagrisso, and quite scared!]

Sending many positive thoughts your way Lily for an easy and uneventful course of treatment. I also have gained weight after my treatment and am having an awful time trying to get it off.

[I can't believe that this is my story]

That is such awesome news Claudia! So happy for you.

[Pneumonitis]

As far as your pain, you should make an appt with palliative/ supportive care to see if they can’t help you. I had upper back pain that radiology and thoracic ignored but p/s care helped me immensely.

[Last treatment]

Yay! That is an awesome feeling when you get to the end of your treatment.

[How active are you in the real world these days?]

Hi Karen…although Covid is still so scary we can’t totally give up enjoying life. As you are vaccinated and boosted, I say get the tickets. I do wear a mask if I go to the grocery store or to the casino. I am going to restaurants to eat and have attended a funeral gathering and bridal shower without a mask. I am vaxxed and boosted. 

[Bob 91361]

Welcome Bob and so happy for you that your cancer was detected so early and taken care of. Hopefully your shortness of breath and cough will diminish with a little more time.

[Supraclavicular enlarged nodes]

Glad the radiation went well and hoping for good news in a couple months with the scans.

[PET results]

Wonderful news! So happy for your wife and you.

[Malignant lung cancer]

My deepest sympathy to you Sajid on the passing of your wife. Thoughts and prayers being sent your way.

[Radiologist vs. Oncologist]

That is great news Michelle.

[NED Is a Nice Way To Start the Day]

Awesome news Lou!
