Anyone had Concurrent Radiation and Chemo Therapies?

@mattieg, I was diagnosed six years ago too, stage IV, and I'm still doing well on my initial treatment. I think overtime we get better at dealing with new nodules and scary stuff. That doesn't mean that we can't, or shouldn't, push our doctors when we need something. 🙂
What type of lung cancer did you have the first time? Has your blood been sent for biomarker testing already? Those do take some time. I wish they were quicker.

It’s wonderful you are doing so well! Keep it up!
I had Stage lll adenocarcinoma. 16mm nodule, and because it got lonely, it brought in a tiny node that the doctor wasn’t even sure was involved. Just 25 radiations and 5 chemo treatments to be sure. Yes, my blood was sent off over 3 weeks ago, but my oncologist is waiting on the brain MRI to see me. This is where the patience has to come in. But as I told my 36 year old son last night, I feel I’m in a better mind space this time. Knowing it’s contained in one lung, pretty much knowing what to expect if we do the same radiation/chemo, what the steps are. I refuse to fear it, just hate it!
Keep going yourself! We are more than warriors, we are conquerors!
