Hi Linzy,we all know the terrible emotions which you are going thru right now.However please dont give up hope. Two years ago i was told I had a softball sized tumor in my right lung and was probably inoperable but the surgeon who looked at the scans said he could do it.Sometimes the chemo will shrink things up so they may be able to do surgery at a later date.Also dont be afraid to ask for a atidepressant,antiaxiety pill to help you get your emotions in order.Even without surgery many live many years with just chemo and radiation treatment. I also would get a 2nd opinion.Im sending a prayer up above for you and a hug across the ocean.Mike

Hi Robin,Im saying a prayer for you.Mike

Hi everyone,I was just reading some of the posts dealing with lymp nodes that has left me kind of puzzeled.On me yhey removed a tumor 10.5 centimeters in size(softball size) and 17 lymph nodes which 2 had been effected.Why will they do surgery on some that have node involvement and others they say they cannot do surgery because a few nodes were effected?Mine was stage2b(T2,N1,One peribronchial node and 1 10R node.grade 3 carcinoma.Does that mean my effected nodes were limited to inside the lung. I have seen many posts in here how folks with smaller tumors than mine were not elgible for surgery because of a few nodes involvement.I just wondered why they could do surgery on me and not them?Mike

Prayers are with you ernie.

Sorry about the job Liz.My situation was a little like yours. I wasnt released from my doctor to go back to work yet and my short term disability was running out so I signed up for long term disability thinking I could go back to work at a later date.I was wrong.When I signed up for long term that ended my emplyment with them They still have to cover me with insurance thru cobra but that now costs me 500. a month where it was 15. a week when I was working. I also lost my life insurance and and funeral policy. But all in all I dont really think I could have went back and done the job anyway so they kind of made the decion easier for me.I am on disability now and will be elgible for medicare in January.Those big companys cover there butts pretty good.I just focus on now how blessed I am to still be alive and all the good things and people in my life.I hope things start going better for you. May God bless you.
