Cancer Radiation

Posts Tagged ‘lung cancer’

i just completed my 15 treatments of radiation to the brain for metastasized lung cancer. i have noticed a marked fatigue and drowsiness and am told that it is an expected side effect. my question is how long will this last? is there any thing i can do about it but be patient?

My last chemo was May 9th and last radiation was June 30th. Since then I find food makes me sick, I can’t stand the smell, I can’t stand the taste and I’m actually forcing myself to eat something. I’m relying on boost to make it through. Is this normal and how long should this go on. Also my hair hasn’t started growing back. Any idea how long that will take.

My mother in law has just found out she has lung cancer and a tumor in her lung. She will be getting surgery to remove the tumor tomorrow. What are the chances of everything being okay? Will she have to take radiation or chemotherapy afterwards? I would like to get input from anyone that has gone thru this experience. She is very scared and was a smoker for 22 years. Any information is more than welcome.

he just underwent surgery about 3 weeks ago, the doctors say he looks good he is having a slow recovery he lost alot of weight and is still in pain Can anyone relate or give me an idea when he will feel himself again….this isnt the end..he is a young 68 and he is my daddy….

My father has been diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer and will be undergoing a new chemotherapy called Stereo-tactic Radiation, he was told it was a new procedure. I would like to know if anybody ever had it and what he is going to go through

She was diagnosed over 3 years ago with lung cancer. She did not want chemo or radiation. She drinks colloidal silver and swears by it. I tried to find a site with a tumor marker scale but could not.

So I know that no one is going to give me a diagnosis here, nor am I asking for one. Here’s the deal. Someone I know had been diagnosed with skin cancer a year ago on his chest. He was doing the chemo and radiation and everything. He developed a cough about 7 months ago and has still been unable to get rid of this cough. Being stubborn, he refused to go to the doctor or say anything about it. Last week he became too weak to even get out of the bed. His wife finally forced him to go to the doctor, where they found several black spots on his lungs. Has his skin cancer spread to lung cancer? What are the chances considering one is on the external and the other internal? I know it is rarer for cancer to start off interally and go to the external (skin), but what about the other way around?
He is in the hospital now. No test results back. Just wondering for myself…what should I expect so not to be hit so hard when it does hit.

my grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer that had spread to her bones.She recently finished all of her treatments and she has lost all of her hair and she has lost tons of weight.She has no appetite and barley eats anything and her mind is not all there.Does radiation cause some sort of hysteria or anything.what are all of the side effects?
