Re: Lung met

I spoke to my friend to have more clear understanding. She has had clouds in her lung since diagnoses 4 years ago with a solitary met. She was told that it's normal and stable. In the clouds she has many (not sure number) so let's say multiple ground glass opacities. She has been on low dose chemo l...

Re: Stage 4 and surrogacy

Maybe. Her husband is around 65. She is early 40s. She is active on Christian social media. Interestingly received mostly exciting response. So yes, maybe I just can't relate.

Stage 4 and surrogacy

I have to admit that I am in shock. And don't know what to say. There is a woman with stage 4 breast cancer on chemo treatment currently living near me. The couple has 2 young children. Boy and a girl. The girl is around 3 years old. Boy probably 8. The couple just announced that they are having a n...

Re: Lung met

Thank you. I gave her the info. She says that there is a small nodular thickening in the both of the lower lobes. She believes that's cancer? There are areas called ground glass opacities. One of them tested positive for adenocarcinoma. And than she had the met removed that ended up being 1 cm.

Re: Lung met

I tried to get more info. But don't understand. My friend is not in a mental stage to answer. It seems the cancer cells were found in the lung fluid. So she feels it's not treatable.

Re: Lung met

Update: My friend has had I have ground glass opacities on her CT scan. Few of these areas. Her oncologist kept saying it's "nothing". It has been there since her diagnoses 4 years ago when she had the solitary liver met. During her lung surgery when the solitary 0.6 cm was removed the gro...

Re: Checking in approaching 13 year stage 4 survivor

Congratulations. So happy for you. My mom is 75 and fighting stage 4 lung cancer. It's so sad. My son went to visit her for his spring break. She pushed herself and hang out with him. But I know she is feeling really sick from chemo. She lives in Europe. I just hate cancer. Planning to spend the sum...

Re: Lung met

As my understanding with her lung surgery. The 0.6 cm met was completely removed. She is NED again. Not sure why her medical team is so pessimistic. Thank you all again!0

Re: Lung met

Thank you so much for sharing all your experience and recommendations. We actually met in person last summer in Athens. Both stage 4 survivors. I agree with a socialized health care. We have it in my country. My mom at 75 years old wasn't diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer until I took her to an urg...

Re: Interesting (and optimistic) danish study on recurrence for stage I-III colorectal cancer

Almost 5 years. I believe especially young patients we don't fit statistics. We are not even suppose to have this type of cancer. I was 39 stage 1. 44 during covid stage 4. My tumor grew within a year to almost 10 cm with involving my ovary and distant lymph nodes. Life is good now. Heading to Dubai...
