Don M Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi Dave. I quit smoking 19 years before I got my diagnosis of adenocarcinoma in 2003. Boy, was I surprised. I am a retired US Forest Service employee and am enjoying my retirement. I hope your treatment brings excellent results. don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recce101 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi, Dave, 43 years for me. Actually, I think there's a good chance something besides smoking caused my LC, which is the same type as yours and also on the right side. You're starting on the same chemo combination that I had. Mine was once every 3 weeks, and I'm still on the same schedule, except since February it's been Avastin only. If you'll put your diagnosis/treatment/test results info in a profile at the bottom of your messages, you can save yourself a lot of repetitive typing. Click "My Profile" at the top, scroll down to "Signature," enter/update your information, scroll further down to ensure "Always attach my signature" is marked "Yes," then click "Submit" at the very bottom.
