Hello. Today I found this Blog. Thanks for your presence and whatever guidance/help you can offer.
I AM IN SHOCK!
In May 2023, my Pulmonary doctor informed me that I had Adenocarcinoma Cancer. The doctor along with pathology procedures identifying nodular growth and changes from a year ago. To date no changes have occurred.
I have gone through many procedures; bronchoscopy, biopsy, CT scan, PET scans.
Presently awaiting start place, date/time radiation.

Hi @angelfran, I'm glad that you found us, but so sorry that you are dealing with this recent diagnosis. It's never something that we expect, and many of us have been in your shoes.
There has been a helpful ongoing discussion about radiation of the lung, that you can find here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/radiation-treatment-on-lul/
Are the doctors thinking that radiation should be enough to address the nodule?

Welcome, unfortunately, to our group of wonderful and knowledgeable people who share in the shocking diagnosis of cancer.
What form of treatment is your Dr. recommending? What size is your cancer and what part of the lung is it in? This group of people are awesome at giving good quality information as well as experiences that can help you with almost any question you could have. Of course, your best source of information should be your Dr.
I am at almost 3 months post-op for adenocarcinoma of the left upper lung (LUL). Segmentectomy and a small wedge resection as well to remove it. Mediastinum nodes removed as well. No cancer in any nodes and my cancer was 1.5 cm.
Wishing you the best of luck!
