Are You Getting the Best Possible Treatment for Your Lung Cancer?–Want Your feedback!

After my lobectomy last year (lower right lobe), I was kind of dismissed by everyone ... just being told I was so lucky because I was staged 1A and they got it all. I knew I had other nodules that needed watching (in the other four lobes) as well as having smoked for thirty years (quit 20 years ago) and having a family history of lung cancer. I refused to settle for that. None of my original doctors were going to follow up on me as I felt I needed. I did more research and changed my internist, oncologist, and pulmonologist. What a difference. Both my new pulmonologist and my new oncologist read every CD and written report about me before my first visits ... both knew everything about me by the time I first saw them. Both told me I needed to be carefully monitored from then on ... especially with nodules in my other lobes that could grow and prove to be cancerous, too. They each individually answered every question I planned to ask before I even had chance to ask the questions. I was impressed ... and now feel I am "in great hands" and getting the best care.
