Welcome to WhatNext. I'm a lung cancer survivor, diagnosed September 2011.

I've been through the lobectomy, chemotherapy and radiation, and am at the 1 year mark from having been diagnosed.

I have found WhatNext to be a great supportive group here. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can message me directly, or post to my wall - I always try to respond.

Have you had mutation testing done? There may be targeted treatments available for you that are not as difficult on you as Chemo and Radiation. You have Stanford and USC who are outstanding cancer centers for Lung cancer. There is alos Proton therapy which is ultra pin point radiation with few side effects.
