Cancer Radiation

Posts Tagged ‘right’

Ther is no diabtic history in my family. I was not over weight.
That is breast cancer. Can’t spell

I have been diagnosed with squamous cell stage !!!A lung cancer I have two small cells of cancer in my right lung and one lymph node.
Treatments are surgery, radiation, chemo for most people. I am considered a non surgery candidate.
Therefore radiation and chemo would be my only chance. My questions are to compare length of life, quality , prognosis, with treatment and without any treatment?
I have asked my Doctor, but there is an English barrier, He’s from India Plyus Doctors don’t know how long it takes to die without treatment, because patients against treatment don’t usually go back.

I used to have cancer, so i had surgery, then radiation, and ever since my second dose of radiation (weeks ago) it hurts right underneath my ears (like there is a saliva build up or something???) and like if i put pressure on the skin that is right underneath my ear, it hurts so bad.

Whats going on!?!?

This is the scan (CT scan) which happens right before the radiation is administered. Luke is being treated for a pontine (brainstem) glioma.
