hi tab I'm a new member stage 4 cancer of chest not lungs yet no side affects of chemo apart from losing hair. mine is the nasty small cell cancer so know what you are going through I'm from England the NHS is free but treatment not very good the health service is crumbling. diagnosed about 9 months ago given about 2wks to live lungs and chest drained due to effusion and the svco artery had a flexible stent inserted because lymph node was pressing against it. feel great at the moment I don't know how long it will last. is lung cancer chemo the same as in UK carboplatin /etoposide combo. all the best tab its a cruel disease this cancer. I'm 57 years old gave up smoking 3 years ago too up vaping which I enjoy. in the UK its very positive about vaping 95% safer than smoking. but I know in america its different with the lies from gov probally protecting there tob taxes.
