  1. Hi, I would like to introduce my self and my name is Sallyanne. I was diagnosed with small cell adeno carcinoma lung cancer in right lower lobe and 2 lymph nodes in brochial area and they were tested malignant. I had 4 rounds of chemotherapy, robotic surgery. At the time of the surgery, the two lymnph nodes were begnign and tumor in lower lobe was shrunk by the chemo and removed. But, there were two lymph nodes in between the upper and lower lung in the bronchial tree that surgeon tried to remove and some pieces broke off. Pathology lab was able to test the remaining tissue and they were malignant. Has anyone had this experience or heard of this happening? My Oncologist recommended 30 radiation treatments, 5 days a week for 6 weeks, on my chest. I am having trouble with my esophogus, difficulty swallowing and pain, tightness in my chest with a lot of coughing. I read that there could be a possibility of permanent damage to the esphogus with ulcers and inflammation. I asked the Radiation Oncologist and he said there is a possibility and there are side effects. I am in the 4th week of radiation and very concerned if I should continue. Has anyone had or having this experience with radiation? Thanks for your response! Sallyanne
