Newly diagnosed. NSCLC squamous cell carcinoma
Hi all,
I am newly diagnosed with NSCLC stage 3. Starting soon with Radio and Chemotherapy treatment for 6 weeks. I am very anxious and have no idea of what to expect. I am from the United Kingdom. I pray for all of you. God bless.

Hi Lisa,
I had a chest infection and then sent for an chest xray. Came back with abnormal results. Right lower lobe. Had a Pet scan and Bronchoscopy. Staging is as follows T3 N2 M0
I am trying to stay very positive. They said that surgery was not an option due to the 2 nymph lodes, hence Radio and Chemo.
Well Lisa I hope everything turns out great for you.The best of luck in your treatments
Hi @snoekie, I'd like to add my welcome along with @lls8000. She's right. You're not alone. In fact, I moved your message to this existing discussion that @harley123 recently started:

I did this so you can read previous helpful posts and easily connect with other NSCLC-ers like @cindyjk @aksinspringfield @kkckkjm @marcia115 @ta52 @richcolleen @marshall8318 and others.
Snoekie, when will treatment start? Do you know what type of chemotherapy protocol you'll be getting?

@snoekie, just know that you aren’t alone. Hopefully your doctors can give you a better idea of what to expect at each step in the treatment process. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of your doctors and nurses.
How was your cancer found? Were you experiencing symptoms?
Lisa
