I was diagnozed with Stage 3A NSC lung cancer and it's inoperable. The tumor stretches over the 3 lobes of right lung, covering the pulmonary artery. It's also in the center of the chest and close to the heart. I received very aggressive chemo and radiation in October and November 2007. I did fairly well through the treatment though I crashed in late November and was very ill for a few weeks. I feel really good now. Still a lot of inflamation from the treatment. The tumor had shrunk significantly by January. I will probably be scheduled for another Scan in April to take a look. I feel really good physically and emotionally and quite positive about the cancer receeding. I have yet to meet Survivors with similar cancer that have NOT had surgery. Everyone seems to have had surgery. Margot

I would like to connect with Lung Cancer survivors (5+years) with similar experience. I have Stage 3A lung (non small cell) cancer Non Operable. I have completed aggressive chemo and radiation treatment. Currently 4 months post treatment and feeling very good. Margot
