Yes. I’m or my 3rd week or radiation. Yes. I have had the pressure in my esophagus. I’ve had hiatal hernia repair so I was kind of used to it. My main support is my Husband. My Oncology Department has been. amazing . I have a lot of inflammation in my chest which causes my chest and back to hurt. That and the tumor in my lung and my lymph node in my chest wall. I spoke with my Oncologist yesterday about my wanting an image done. She had already told me as well as my Radiation Oncologist that they don’t do any images until this cycle of therapy is over. Because of the radiation and inflammation it’s hard to see if it shrinking or if it had grown. But she told me that she would talk with him about it so that it would ease my mind. I’m still waiting for my genetic testing results to come in. And have an appointment with my Rheumatologist later this month to even see if I can do immunotherapy afterwards. There are so many ifs. That you gif asking about me. ❤️❤️

Pressure in my chest led to my diagnosis. It can be so uncomfortable.
The major testing centers are expected to take two weeks for results, as long as they have a sufficient sample. IF a mutation is driving your cancer, immunotherapy may not be the best treatment for you. Has you doctor checked on the genetic/biomarker test results?
