LUNG CANCER STAGE 3 A

Hi Lisa,

Sorry you did not get a response to your previous post on this site. It is not as active as some other sites I have seen but I think if we keep posting, it will encourage others to use this great facility and help the community to grow. This is the only IRISH support site that I know of so I think it is very important that we have it.

Good to hear that your Dad has responded to treatment and his lymph nodes have reduced. Hopefully this will continue. Is his chemo and radiotheraphy still ongoing?

Regards,

Flo.

Hi Flo thanks for your reply.As you have said we have to keep communication lines open so people know they are not alone.His chemo and radium are ongoing until sep 5th.He will be left alone for about 3 to4 wks then be scanned and hope radium and chemo have down ther job. So wish him luck and lets hope for the best.
Regards Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Will be keeping fingers crossed for him that the results of his tests post-treatment are good.

Let us know how he gets on. Will prob be October I guess?

Flo.

Hi Lisa,

I had lung cancer stage 2. I had a lobectomy and chemo for 3 months.

That will be 2 years in October. I also could not find much info so I ended up on
a US based website which I found very helpful.

If I can be of any help to you and your dad drop me a mail and i will reply asap.

I hope he is feeling well I know what he is going through, and you also as it is very hard for care givers.

Niall

Hi Niall and Flo ,thank you for your response.At the moment dad has just finished bout 32 sessions of radium and another full about 2nd cycle of chemo of 6 full sessions. He has been hospitalised in the last 3 weeks because of thrush in the throat and he cannot eat .He still has his cigarettes and few pints ,but is dew back for a scan on de 27 th of october.Nurses from pallative care are coming and i got a fright when i heard this but i know now this just helps someone after the affects of chemo and radium agressively,and hopefully he will have good respinse after this for a few years .Praying for ye now hope ye will pray for us.Always in my thoughts and if I can be of any service do not hesitate.

Always in my thoughts Lisa
