Donna G Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hello Kenny. Welcome to our support group. I am a Pancoast Tumor survivor ! Dr. Pancoast who years ago set up the treatment for a tumor in the apex of the lung did a great job. ( The tumor was named after him because he set up the treatment for this lung cancer.) I also had chemo and radiation before surgery and more chemo after surgery. I was diagnosed in December 1997 ! I'll be celebrating 21 years of survival in December. I had pain down my arm and my chest wall and found out at the doctors it was due to the tumor pressing on nerves and my chest wall. After surgery the pain was different for it was due ribs being broken and muscles stretched to get at the tumor.. It lasted for a while . All of the treatment was really worth it for I am still alive ! Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Donna G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
