NOT RECURRENT CANCER, BUT NEW TYPE SMALL CELL, STARTED CHEMO

[enyaw061032]

After a series of incorrect diagnoses, saying I had a recurrent of my bronchoalveolar stage la lung cancer; then cat scan confirming had it all over the place; and PET SCAN lighting me up like a Xmas tree, bronchoscope failed; so had mediatinoscopy and got tissue for biopsy, etc. and MRI, ETC. was diagnoses with new cancer, different type called SCLC. Have 2 masses, some lymph node involvement and mass on spine (might be why I had so much hip and back pains, among other things).

I had a medaport installed and got my first CHEMO yesterday; managed to get through it OK; slightly nauseated this morning.

I am just so glad finally have a diagnosis and treatment plan going.

Barb, sorry you have a new lung cancer that is extended. But glad you have a plan of attack and have begun. Don

Good Lord, You've had a rough time. Here's hoping that this new regimen of treatment will give you some relief and improvement in the coming year.

Best wishes.

Thanks so much for your post. I am trying to take one day at a time now, because that is about all I can handle. For some reason, once I finished the first chemo this past week, I felt OK that day and the next, but then have been very, very nauseated and tired. It's an awful feeling.

Barb,

Me thinks you deserve a break !!!

Nice to see that you had the strength to battle through all that. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I expect to see the reward of success for all that you've endured.
