shortshot80) Nancy, Well now I am 84 and have just started chemo. I would like to think that the chemo will help distroy the cancer in my leftt lung. It won't help the other lung, But it might slow it down so I can live a longer life. I was informed I had the two kinds of lung cancer in January 2016. Mesothelioma in my left lung and plain old cancer in the other. I had radiation on my right lung. Well the radiation shattered the cancer in the right lung, cause ing me to have a
really bad time of breathing. Doc's put me on some breathing medication and oxygen at night. I have had just on treatment of chemo, I believe it has helped and along with the other medication. I am happy I can "breathe" I hope to live a long time yet, but if the chemo is the way.....So Be It" I can still do many things and still keep out of trouble...I will have my second treatment on November 28. I am happy to attend this life saving treatment. Nancy

ShortShot80. Where did you work that you ended up with Mesothelioma? Have you filed for benefit monies because of it? I worked for an asbestos abatement company. I worked in the offices so was not exposed.

Wow , you are amazing. I hope that I can have your strength. Thank you
