carrie Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hello everyone, I have been reading the boards on this site for a couple of weeks and just joined. All of your support is very encouraging. I have been in treatment for 6 months for nsclc stage iiib. I am 40 years old. This has been quite a journey god has put me on. Just wanted to introduce myself. ___________ 40 yrs old DX 2/4/04 ncslc stage IIIb 5wks of daily radiation and chemo weekly taxol/carboplatin 5/4/04 Surgery - removal of two upper lobes in right lung and lymph nodes in chest wall (this surgery according to my surgeon was a miracle, it was not ever suppose to be able to happen - got all of it) Prayer is sooo powerful. another round of chemo (4 months) taxol/carboplatin(to get anything that may be hiding) - allergic reaction to carbo, taxol/cisplatin - cisplatin made me to sick. Taxol only for a couple of weeks then taxol/navilbean combo. Scans in July showed no signs of cancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyde Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hi Carrie and welcome. It certainly sounds like good news to me. Our onc. told me that they seem to have very good success with young women that are stage III. You certainly are a testament to that, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
