Adenocarcinoma

A MyLungCancerTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tennessee, IL

I am just getting started with cancer, early detected. I'm confused, as I guess most are on what to do. My local Drs say entire lung removal could be my answer, other lung is great. I would be cancer free. My family wants me to go to another hospital that is well know and I may get answer without removing entire lung. Right now I just want it out of me. I've read many stories of cancer journeys and its scary but I hope to be as brave as you people are once I learn more.

Members rallied around someone newly diagnosed with adenocarcinoma and facing the difficult decision of whether to remove their entire lung, with the overwhelming consensus being to seek a second opinion at a specialized cancer center before making such a major choice. Several members shared their own surgical experiences, including lobectomies, wedge resections, and full lung removals, with many noting that cancer returned in other areas despite initial surgery, leading them to wish they had pursued chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation earlier in their treatment journey. A recurring theme was the importance of moving forward without waiting too long while also gathering enough information to feel confident in the decision, balancing the urgency of treatment with the need for hope, prayer, and taking things one day at a time.

Amen! We are all winners. Days may be good, and some days not. But, keep fighting with everything you got. Your testimony can always inspire someone. Be resilient in praying…….. in mind, by mouth, by song. But just pray. He hears us🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️

I've finished 6 weeks of radiation and 4 chemo treatments, wish I could go ahead and get a scan to see how it went but I have to wait a month. You are in my prayers for God's healing and strength in faith.

Praying for you! That cancer is sneaky stuff! My husband has rang that bell (cancer free) 2 times and the cancer just shows up somewhere else in 2 or 3 years! Just keep fighting it with all you’ve got and never give up!

My right lung is clear but I have 4 tumors in my left 2 of them grew together to make one large one and my oncologist said if he removes the entire lung and then I get tumors on my right that wouldn’t be good so he recommended chemo and immunotherapy to slow down and hopefully stop all growth of cancer cells. Hope this helps

Just to brighten your day a little, today I had my latest lung scan as well as my annual brain scan. Both were clear. I finished chemo in April 2022. I had surgery in Dec 2021. I am not a candidate for targeted therapy or for immunology. And I am still truckin!
