What Is The Treatment For Stage 3 Lung Cancer?
I was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer a year ago and have had surgery (removal of the top two lobes of my right lung), four months of chemotherapy, and twenty-eight sessions of radiation. I sailed through all the treatments with no nauseau or tiredness or ill effect. I had a ctscan four months ago and one month ago. Both scans should that my lungs are clear. I have had a slight cough (bark was more like it) after radiation and then a sinus infection. Now everything is clearing up but I cough when I lean down. What's up?
