Hi Loulou...mine is nsclc adenecarcinoma, upper right lung and 1 lymph node on same side. I've got 6 weeks of radiation, every day 5 days a week and 6 weeks of chemo 1 day a week. I'm hoping this treatment will shrink the node and tumor and I am able to go forward and have the robotic surgery to remove the cancers. Guess I'll know in a few weeks with a CT scan to see if shrinkage has occurred. Just starting this process, so have no evil side effects yet...hoping I don't have any bad side effects, but I'm aware of what they can be.

Good luck with your treatment, please keep us posted!
Sandy

Hi Sandy, I added your question to the Cancer: Managing Symptoms support group too. Fellow members @ncteacher @cjs123172 @val64 @lhwoz @marciapell have mentioned icing with chemo infusions and may have tips to share.

How are you doing? How are the side effects?

Hi Sandy,
Has the chemo and radiation been tolerable so far? Are you having all your treatments at Mayo? I just had surgery for rll lobectomy but am probably looking at chemo/radiation as well.
