Hi KMV, 

I'm not sure what time the planning scan is today but I just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you and wishing you both all the best.

Hopefully some of our lung cancer members will see your post and share their experiences with you soon but do feel free to use the 'search forum' option in the blue bar above to find discussions to join in on that are similar to your own.

We have some general information about this treatment on our website but our cancer nurses are just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040 if you'd like to talk things through with them as well. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

Kind regards,

Hello, my husband was diagnosed in 2017 and was the same one lung and lymph nodes, 6 to 8% success rate with chemo and radiotherapy and he's also got copd and is an amputee, so not good.  But three years on its just started to grow back and yesterday we were offered more radiotherapy which he is taking.  I don't know what stage your husband is but mine was stage 4.  It is a gamble but the treaent does shrink the tumour, we have a wonderful lady oncologist and we follow her advice.   Good luck.  Carol 

Thank you Steph. All went to plan today so back again next week for CT verification. X Kaz

Thank you for your reply. My husband was given T3/T4 stage. The biopsy said T3 but the PET scan said T4. So lovely Ely to hear your husband has done so well. I hope the next round of radiotherapy is as successful as the first. Do you mind me asking did your husband have an OP or chemo prior to RADIOTHERAPY?

Hi Kaz, yes he did, we took our oncologists advice and because it was stage 4 it had to be blasted from all angles.  Hope all goes according to plan for you both.  Carol
