Thanks for all your support ,update,and ANY ADVICE?

Just a quick update, as I have to leave for yet another appt and CT Scan. I will be starting radiation & chemo on Monday. Radiation is EVERYDAY for 6 or 7 weeks and then chemo will be for 6 days...a month off...then 6 days again. I will be having Platinol & VP16. Any advice or experiences with any of this, would be appreciated. This is all different treatment than before. It is the same kind of cancer as before...nsclc/squamous cell/localized, but not in my lungs, in the space between my lungs, mainly behind my esophagus. My oncology tells me to get it back this way was very unusual, but that's good because I could still be CURED or at least put it into remission for good!!! Anyways, thanks again for all of your support and would appreciate some more advice if anyone can give me any. Patty

Hi Patty,

Wow 6 or 7 weeks of radiation? That is a very long time - I hope you are near the facility.

Best of luck.

Good luck Patty. My 3rd cancer is local also and so I think I still have a shot at a cure.
