Hi, To answer to what stage I am in I was never really told except that we were going for a cure, that is what pulmonary Doctor said , there was not mets and tumor was a little over 2 cm. but surgeon said that this kind of cancer proliferates so he took the entire lobe and he thought he got it all with no lymph involvement so we are just watching. When I was prescribed neurontin I just took one 300 mg at night, I just took it once but I felt real groggy next day. I thank everyone for welcoming me , and for information about bras surgeon said incision would heal better with support but sometimes I cannot wear one at all . After having cervical cancer through the years I have taken every kind of estrogen their sometimes with progesterone, I have been curious about the fact that lung cancer is falling among men but more women are getting LC. Some people say it is because more women are smoking, I really question that because so many women are getting it . I really think it might have more to do with birth control pills and the fact that so many women are on estrogen. Just felt like sharing my thoughts on this Let me know your opinions. 3Times

Hi, I have been trying to post this message a couple of times, but as you can guess I am not very computer literate so please excuse me. I had cervical cancer about 40 years ago and was treated with surgery, I do not know what kind it was. In 1995 I had cancer of the larynx it was squamous cell, and was treated with radiation successfully. I have an ENT Doctor that ordered chest x-rays every 6 months. I was diagnosed with lung cancer in August of 2003, I had a lung biospy and it was diagnosed as bronchoalveolar carcinoma, I had bone scan and it showed hot spots at sites of previous cancers. I had pet scan and it ruled this out. I was a candidate for surgery because it was a different kind of cancer. I had a thoracotomy to remover right lower lobe and was told there was no lymph involvement. So I am going for a third miracle. I am about 9 weeks after surgery. I went back to work after 1 month. I still have pain but not severe, I take advil and 1 hydrocodene. I have been prescribed neurontin so I can sleep at night. 300mg at bedtime I am interested in anyones experience with this drug. Also if any of you ladies know of any kind of bra that does not bother incision. I want you to know that I am truly blessed, I see so many heartbreaking stories on the board. I thank God for a vigilant Doctor and for every day I wake up . Hoping I get this message on this time. 3Times
