Hello Carenity members,

What were the symptoms that you originally experienced with lung cancer that made you seek medical advice? Please describe the symptoms and their duration before you sough medical advice/treatment.

My hopes is that this becomes a forum for users to reference in the future or for those that are possible concerned they may need to seek medical advice.

 

Thank you.

@2Carey I'm so sorry that your doctor and other medical professionals didn't take what you were going through more seriously!  Please keep us updated on how you're doing if you feel up to it! Wishing you the best in your treatment! 

@kimjackovic How have you been feeling since surgery? We'll be thinking of you as you head into your check-up! Don't hesitate to let us know how it goes!

Take care,
Courtney
