Lung tumour size

[JennyS]

Hi all,

Has anybody here been diagnosed with @ 7cm tumour, and if so, what was the diagnosis? Was there any symptoms, and what has been your outcome? Please help me as the doctor's aren't telling me anything

My husbands tumor was quite large also, don't remember the exact size. It took up most of the upper lung. You can see from my profile that he is doing well.

I've had one at 5cm that we beat into submission with chemo another at 6cm that we just finished hitting with radiation. I have two now at 1.5cm that we are treating with chemo.....anything is possible.

hi Jenny.

I think it was Karen335(?) that had one the size of 2 watermelons!!!

About 11 or 13 cm...!

She is still running around causing a ruckus with great checkups each time. She also had brain mets that were treated.

Hi,

My dad had a tumour 5x7 cm tumour. He was diagnosed with limited small cell. He is a 16 month survivor! He is doing quite well except that his oxygen level is low upon movement but that is still improving....

Hi Cindi and Jenny

Merry Christmas. It was 17cm in right lung and it has shrunk to 2cm. It is now scar tissue. I am a very blessed person...

All things are possible. Just keep a positive attitude and use visualization to get rid of those pesky little cells. They do go away...

Just keep coming here for support and never,never never give up...

Prayers and hugs,

Karen

Hello there Jenny! My dad's primary tumor is about 6-8 cm. He is currently stable and doing well. Happy holidays!

Hi Jenny: my first primary was 4x5 cm. I had it cut out with my upper left lobe. It was stage IB adenocarcinama. I had no chemo. My cancer came back a year later. I had the rest of my left lung removed and had chemo followup. My second cancer was stage IA adenocarcinoma. I am cancer free now.

Hi Jenny,

I was diagnosed with a 6x8 cm tumor in my left lung in May. Mets to brain and bone. (diagnosis was based on pain in my arm and leg).

I just complete 6 cycles of chemo and am continuing on the same. CT is scheduled for 1/3.

I have had shrinkage and I feel really good 90% of the time. 10% bad is usually tired due to low red blood count or achy due to meds. After the first 4 cycles, the reduction was almost 40% and I'm hoping for another 20 or so with this CT.

When I was first diagnosed, I thought I had 6 mo to 1 year. Now I think I have years and the quality of life is really good. If I continue lik this, I'll not complain.

Good luck, use the board to get information or just share feelings.

Hi Jenny,

Joels was also 7cm. His was operable and contained to 1 lobe. They cut his out and he has been LC free ever since. This is his one year anniversary.

Hi Jenny

My husband had a tumor that was 10cm. He had his upper right lungs lobe removed and the surgeon says he got it all. I don't think size is an issue rather where the tumor is located in the lung is and if the cancer has spread out side of the lung. Also if the lymph nodes are involved
