Hi Connie,
I was able to have a biopsy via bronchoscopy.
Pathology came back adenocarcinoma stage 1.
I was offered either surgical resection or radiation- both giving same result.
I chose radiation- assumed recovery from surgery would be worse for me.
I had 3 separate treatments. There were no immediate side effects but experienced fatigue when all done. Still not bad.
I have follow up CT scans every 4 months- so far so good. Eventually the scans will be done every 6 months and so on.
I also see my pulmonologist on a regular basis and they check pulmonary function.
I feel fine now and I don’t really worry. If anything will show up- I’ll deal with it.
I was definitely more anxious after my breast cancer diagnosis 33 years ago. I’m finally not worried about that either.
Good luck and hope all goes well. Let me know what they find!
