Hi @llwortman @burrkay @alicantina1 @merilee @alvinw @shortshot80 @mryzuch @amws @pearlgee @cheris @annette1 @cheris @windwalker @lesbatts @major @bestcare and @sistergoldenhair

I'd like to invite you to the new group dedicated to discussions about lung cancer. It's a space where we can ask questions, share tips and learn from each other. Whether you in treatment or caring for someone with lung cancer, or you're a lung cancer survivor, please join us.

Pull up a chair and tell us a bit about yourself.

My lung cancer was a surprise.I had no symptoms but had a chest X-ray as I was going to have a watchman implanted in my heart for AFIB. It showed a mass of 3.4 c so thank god I decided to have the watchman.I am 80 years old and also have diabetes. They did a biopsy and yes it is cancer, started chemo on the 8 of February and the 15. I then have a week off and start over twice more. They will then do pet scan and hopefully surgery. Super tired and yeast infection under breasts. Very painful

I am having surgery in Jan 2024 for a 13 mm typical neuroendocrine tumor. Dr. said will probably remove 10% of left lung. I’m female, 77, walk 30 minutes minimum at the Y on indoor track 5x a week, do another 30 minutes on rowing or elliptical. I was told it will be robotic and probably discharged two days after surgery. I live alone and am considering employing a caregiver. I understand we are all different, but am interested in a guesstimate of how many days I may need someone to stay with me.
