My story is identical. 55 year smoker, quit at age 70 for Mayo treatment.
I am now 90 carry the small, 2 lb oxygen, go to the gym 3xwk and am Catholic attending daily Mass and in love with my wife.
I have had 5 different cancers so besides the lung cancer, I have had my epiglottis removed so I eat and drink by a PEG (hose) in my stomach wall. Throat is closed.
Recently had lymphoma nodes removed from my left upper chest
All 5 of my cancers treated at Mayo
So my dear, stay strong, stay busy if you can and any exercise you can do…do it
For certain….love your doctors

Hi Bill @billcomiskey, Congrats on 20 years post diagnosis. Even if they haven't been easy, your history and your message are inspirations for us all. I've been treated for two cancers, metastatic lung and early-stage breast. I'm not looking to add any more! You've experienced a lot. I'm glad that you've found good care. Thanks for sharing your story. Was your lung cancer small-cell?

You must be a very strong person to have gone through so much and still be so active and positive. I'm afraid I'm new at this game and like I said my head is spinning from everything that's going on it's hard to focus. It's a very emotional time and I want to be strong. I have great people being there for me supporting my new journey but I have to be strong for them or they worry so much.
