Early stage lung cancer

Posted by malkani07 @malkani07, Sep 3, 2020

Hello everyone!
Hope you are all well

My father is diagnosed with early stage 1 lung cancer 0.2 CM squamous cell carcinoma. I want to bring my father to United States for treatment (surgery etc whatever doctors will recommend).

Can anyone in group please help me in sharing information how long the treatment process? Estimated cost for the whole treatment As a international patient? Any successful cases you know? Your help will be very useful

Thank you so so much

Pain was really bad before. This is a piece of cake and getting better everyday. Scans are what they’ll be. Accepting whatever.

@richcolleen- I can just imagine the pain. I am very glad that you are feeling better. What type of PT and for how long do you think that it will go on?

Walking mostly. Light house work and no lifting. Pain is different getting less daily. Was told will last about 3 weeks.

I was in the hospital for three week with what started as a ruptured appendix and developed to a severe infection and septic shock. The CT and MRI's were done trying to track the infection and figure out what was going on. One of those scans showed a small node in the upper right quadrant of my lung. It was a shock but I have been fighting Multiple Myeloma for 5+ years and have it close to remission. No symptoms because it was found so early.
