Living with lung cancer - Introduce yourself & come say hi

Hi. You are in a good place here - There are a lot of us here who understand what you have been and are still going through. I had a 1.5cm mucinous Adenocarcinoma removed 7 months ago in a left lower lobectomy. Margins and lymph nodes were all clear.
So you and I are very very lucky.
How was yours discovered? Mine was picked up 5 yrs ago in a routine screening. It was only 6mm then. By last April it was 14mm so they recommended removal. I will have CTs every six months for five years so I don’t really worry about it returning without me being aware.
What kind of cancer did yours turn out to be?

Hi Pam, I also had a mucinous Adenocarcinoma in the LR lobe. It was removed 7 months ago. I had robotic surgery. It was tough for awhile after surgery felt like I had a bra on 3 sizes too small. Gabapentin and lidocaine patch helped a lot. You are the first person I’ve come across with a mucinous Adenocarcinoma.

Thank you sooooo much for responding so kindly .. mind was picked up at a wellness visit when I asked for a chest x-ray. 2.1cm same type of tumor as yours. Yes , as you said , we are very lucky it seems it has been caught early .. just being able to communicate with someone that understands is a comfort.. thank you again . I’ll keep you posted on my doc visit and keep me posted on yours or if you just need to talk ..
