Adenocarcinoma

Posted by blue717 @blue717, 4 hours ago

Had no symptoms found on routine X-ray. Results today 1.1 cm lower lung adenocarcinoma. Hasn’t spread as far as the scans show. I’m 75 and scared out of my mind. Haven’t seen doctor yet. Anyone know what is a general plan? God this is scary!!!

@blue717 , Hi there, I just wanted to welcome you to the group, we are all here to help others and receive it when needed. I’m sorry that you’re going through this frightening experience and I know exactly how hard this can be, it’s overwhelming for sure but you’re with people who have been through this and hopefully can give you some comfort and peace of mind. I’m also 75 and I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2020, it was in the upper left lobe, I too was scared to death but I’m still here six years later amen. I had a lobectomy which entails removing the lobe completely, being video assisted it minimized the procedure and usually discharged in 3 days to recover, thankfully nothing else was required. It’s very early stage that you have because the nodule is so small, you can’t beat early detection so you’re in a good position, you’re doctors will run the tests needed and determine what is best for your treatment and recovery. I want to say try not to worry too much but I’d be lying, it’s hard not to but you will be fine once you know everything and begin to feel grounded again, please stay connected and ask as many questions you need to feel safe, best wishes and God bless you.
