  1. Early Feb.2007 got pain in right shoulder. As doing a big spring clean prior to 8 weeks round the world trip, thought I had pulled muscle. Had big trip with over the counter increasing in dosage need as the weeks went on. Two weeks after getting home visited the doc. Luckily for me she was right onto it and sent me for an x-ray. Rang me that afternoon and had booked me in for cat scan next day. End result Pancoast Tumour in right lung. By end of May saw Oncol., had loads of tests and was down for radiation and chemo. By Sept. 17th 2007 booked in and had lobectomy surgery. Removed 2 ribs, end result at this stage tumour 1/2 size and apart from little bit most cancer had gone. Stayed in 7 days. Now I am into just 3 weeks after surgery and I am still feeling a lot of pain in right shoulder from neck down into scapula, as well as right front rib cage, breast and under right arm. Can anybody help if they have gone through this, is this pain normal. It is very debilitating as if I try to do anything too much I end up hitting the floor (passing out) or vomiting. As I am only 58 I expected that I would improve a lot quicker. Am I expecting too much??? Jackie
