What questions do you have?
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have lingering questions, we want to know: What would you like to know about living with lung cancer?
Is there something I can do or eat that would prevent the lung cancer from returning?, diet can certainly help with any chronic condition. I'm going to share some links to articles that deal with nutrition with you. I'd also like to ask if you've talked to your doctor about a referral to a dietician? One of the articles discusses this as well. I hope these prove helpful. -Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

Hi.
I'm a 74 yo female who was diagnosed August '24 when I was having a chest X-ray. The biopsy showed the right upper lobe 4.8 x 4.6 mass, 2.1 x 1.7 left upper. I'm on Sandostatin LAR 30 every 4 weeks. I had 6000 cGy in 8 fractions to the RUL Nov '24.
Just checking on experiences of other patients.
Thank you

Five years clear after surgery and chemo, what are the odds ill get it again?
Also my neurologist told me that my brain fog could not be related to treatment and that it would have gone away as soon as i stopped chemo and same with my ENT that bad taste and almost complete lack of smell and tinnitus (really loud now) have nothing to do with it as well and there is nothing that can be done for any of it.
Don't get me wrong, i am very grateful that ive been lucky enough to be ckear of it., I am so glad to hear that you are clear, and I agree that those are small prices to pay. But I have constant tinnitus and sometimes, it get so loud it could drive you mad! Do you have, or can you get a referral for a neurologist? All of the things you're describing can be caused by neurological damage, and chemo can cause neurological damage. And while most patients do recover from the cog fog and various expressions of neurological damage, some find it is persistent. https://bit.ly/40jR3GO. A neurologist might be able to provide more definitive answers, and hopefully some relief.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing! - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
