Cancer Scans Come Back Clear After Diagnosis

Good news!

But, I have done radiation and am currently doing chemotherapy and getting 2 kinds. Just as a precautionary measure

I haven't done chemo, just immunotherapy. Every third week for two years. I'm just over halfway through now. I also had radiation therapy, 39 treatments. I wish you well on your journey!

My last PET scan showed no active cancer cells too and I have another one scheduled for the 20th. Hoping it will be negative also?

I hope so too

I have a bronscopapathy at the end of the month, he said he couldn't get it all but nothing in my lymph nodes

Sounds like good news there also. All the best to you!

Any ideas on side effects of chemo for early stage lung nodule I hear hearing loss, neuropathy, so scared

Since I haven't had chemo, I don't know about the side effects. There are so many different drugs, I think there are so many side effects. I think I'm fortunate to not have to go through chemo but I worry about immunotherapy not being able to completely kill all of the cancer cells. I know some people who have chemo have a lot of side effects and some are worse than others. I hope you have side effects that are less than others! Try to think about the good it can be doing. I hope it is successful for you!

Being scared is a valid thing. Try to distract yourself with good thoughts and memories. I know it is easier said than done but it can be helpful.

I wonder sometimes if they are just making money off me. 😆 But, I will keep going just to be sure

Laurie I was blessed with the hearing loss I am 63 it's very gradual. My insurance is paying 100% of the cost of mine. Tell your Oncologist immediately

@jennifer adams.....anything to look out for? And not total loss right? How many rounds did you have...would love to connect off line....praying for you My 1st treatment is Thursday, I have 4 in total before surgery

I had 1 treatment of cisplatin and never really noticed I was saying huh all the time until my son brought it to my attention and I am actually looking forward to getting the hearing aids, they said it was mostly chemo and some my age. I did go to some great concerts when I was young.

@Laurie people respond differently to chemo, take good care of your skin and do your best to stay positive. Do things for yourself that make you feel better. Drink lots of fluids, I drink Gatorade blue and smart water and I love the banana nut and chi tea from 7 brew. Eat popsicle to stay hydrated. That's kind of fun to do and my doctors all see me in pajamas. Do what you can to keep some humor into this because you are a fighter and this war is won in small battles 💪

What wonderful and hopeful news to share with the community! Clear scans after a diagnosis can bring such relief and renewed optimism. This kind of update can be incredibly encouraging for others in the community who may be going through similar experiences or waiting for their own scan results.
