Hi Loulou...how are you feeling after the surgery? Good I hope. I've had 4 chemo sessions and 4 weeks of radiation (5x/week). I finish up the end of this month so really hoping it has shrunk my tumor and the lymph node so I can have surgery as well (looking at robotic surgery). I have not had any bad effects from the radiation (other than some acid reflux - the lymph node is behind my esaphagus), but I'm taking 40mg Omeprazole and Sucralfate and it helps greatly. The chemo caused some constipation at first but that has been resolved with Miralax! I would have to say I'm very fortunate to not have the nausea and vomiting and the diarrhea that happens with some. I did have fatigue, but nothing that was unbearable, and this week was the first week that I did not get tired...go figure. I'm having my radiation treatments at Dana Farber/Brigham & Womens in Milford (not Boston) and my chemo is with Reliant Medical in Worcester Ma..I adore my Oncologist, Pulmonologist and the Radiation/Oncologist at DF/BW...she is great. I also like the thoracic surgeon, so I'm hoping things have shrunk enough to have the surgery. I am 77 years old, so I hope that doesn't prevent me from having the surgery. No sure of next steps if I can't have it...guessing Immunotherapy.

Hoping you have a speedy recovery...
Sandy
