Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lung, continual recurrences

Hi Merry - you had suggested I post on this blog. I have multifocal disease. I had a RUL March 15, 2023. Three separate primaries in lobe identified. Adenocarcinoma.
They are monitoring 3 smaller lesions in my left lung which are staggered between both left lobes. These were stable between the Jan and March 2023 scans. My next scan is in September. I honestly had no idea what was going on until I found Mayo Connect. My pulmonologist did describe multifocal disease and said my chance of recurrence was higher, but I don't think I really understood until now.

You are so right!!! I learned more from Mayo Connect than my doctors! My local Pulmonologist talked about interstitial disease not cancer. I went to Mayo and was told I was a complex case, but I assumed that was because I also had a heart issue. I didn't know it was the type of cancer that is so complex. I only understood what I had because of Merry sharing her long experience.

@balevine, I'm glad you came here, and have been able to learn more about multifocal disease. The schedule of continual scans and doctor appointments is never fun, but if it keeps us on top of any growth, it's worth it! Wishing you the best going forward, and no changes for your September scans.
