Recently had thoracic surgery, for non small cell lung cancer what are my chances of the lung cancer returning |
The surgery was very painful, but i made it , now I worry about it comming back, I had 2/3 of one lung removed, What are the chances that the cancer might return to the rest of that lung? Are you going to go through chemo now ? Or radiation? Non small cell is the worst kind, but if they caught it early and got the tumor and do chemo you could have more than 5 years left. Cancer does tend to return. How often and how soon it returns depends on which stage it was detected, you havent mentioned it in your question. Also what is important that you follow your doctor's advice absolutely religiously. Keep getting regular checkups, recurrences can also be cured if detected early. |
