Discovered cancer spot on my lung after covid-19

Posted by togerm @togerm, Jul 26 1:05pm

I was being treated for shortness of breath which never went away after my at home bout with COVID 19 over a year ago. A scan of my lungs showed a spot which tested to be positive for cancer.
Has anyone had a similar circumstance?

Well, I feel i finally received, what I feel is some positive news. My three doctors reviewed my case, the Surgeon, Oncologist, and the Radiation Oncologist and all concurred that radiation was the best avenue for my case. Size and location were explained to me in depth. They all feel 1 to 3 radiation treatments (further testing is needed) will eradicate my cancer. Best news, I feel very positive with this avenue and the time they spent with me at the Cleveland Clinic.

Thank you for thinking of me...yes I had the one radiation treatment earlier this month. Now it's a waiting game for 3 months, at the end of January I have another scan and on the 3rd of February I talk to the doctor to receive the results. All I can do is hope for the best.
It's a long time to wonder...
