Back in Decdember of 2001 a xray showed a lump min my left lung. i went thru alot of tests, they said it was stage 2 cancer. On April 11,2002 I had all of my left lung removed. They then told me that it was stage 3 with lmyp nodes involved. Two weeks latter I went back to see my surgeon he told me that I needed radiation, and that chemo would do nothing for me. I went to 30 radiation treatments, and have had nothing else since. I go back to my surgeon, and lung doctor, and radiation doctor every 6 months, and at that time I have and xray. So far nothing coming back. You people talk about brain mets, bone mets, having a oncology doctor, and this pass time my radiation doctor asked me if I had a Oncology doctor, I told him no and he looked at me kinda strange. What I'd like to know is if i'm being taken care of properly. What I have is Kaiser Healt care plan.
Thanks Al
