New to adenocarcinoma lung cancer and have LOTS of questions

Hi! Thanks for asking. I will have my very first treatment next Tuesday. Sort of worried as my doctor said "this will not be easy". As if any of this has been so far! After chemo comes radiation, which they originally thought I might be able to forego the radiation, but things changed after surgery!
Thank you and anyone reading these conversations! I find them helpful - I hope you do as well; I will do my best to keep my content helpful (and positive!).

Did your surgeon get a tissue sample during surgery for genomic marking at a pathology place like Foundation One Medicine? I may have missed your saying you did in this thread but not backtracking right now. I did get the biomarking test and have been on Xalkori (Crizinitinib) target treatment for 8 successful years. 2 200mg pills a day.
BTW I was up and walking (barely) the floors of ICU about half an hour after waking up from the anesthesia....pushy wonderful beloved surgeon insisted "up and let's go". I growled but he was right. 15 minutes every hour and I recovered quickly. My wishes for good things for you.
