Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lung, continual recurrences

@raffi Hello! I have not posted in a long time. I was first diagnosed in early 2011. Since then, I have had 4 surgeries and 2 different radiations. All of my cancers were different types of adenocarcinoma, and all 1a. I have scans anywhere from 3 month intervals, to 6 month intervals, to now, as of my last scan, a much welcomed 1 year interval! Please just live your life. None of us are promised tomorrow.
I live a wonderfully normal life. Multifocal lung cancer is a whole different type of lung cancer. May you have a wonderful New Year and embrace your new normal.

Thanks for sharing. The four surgeries you mention, were they all VAT surgeries, what lobes were they on and were they all wedge or did they remove an entire lobe? I have had two VAT wedge resections (stage 1b RUL and stage 1a2 LUL). And I had SBRT on 2 nodules in RUL - all that in a two-year period.
The RUL still has multiple increasing nodules and GG and I wonder if they might go back in and just take out that lobe.
