Hello,
I am 42 and was just diognosed w/ lung cancer. Biopsy was positive for cancer but could not be typed (not enough cells) and has to be redone. They are guessning NSCLC.
I am told I am not operative as I have a 4cm mass in the back of the right lung and 2 positive nodes in the hilum.
PET, CT, MRI of the rest of my body is clear.
They are saying I would be a llb.
Thoughts, do you agree w/ this. Is my prognosois as bad as I think it is? I am feeling quite hopeless. Scared to do chemo and radiation which is what they are offereing. Have gotten a number of opinions.
I have a cough and wheeze which they say is due to the hilum node irritaing my bronchial tube. Has anyone had this or has LC kicked up thier asthma?
Thanks and I hope someone is out there. Jen
