Hi I’m Nancy. Was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in my right lung in 2008. Treated with radiation and lumpectomy. In 2012 diagnosed with Ovarian cancer and had complete hysterectomy and treatment. In 2017 I was diagnosed with early stage non small cell in top of my right lung, SBRT radiation, again in 2020 I was diagnosed again with cancer adjacent to the 2020 diagnosis. I’m 80 years old and Mayo said I couldn’t have more radiation so I go back on Oct to see what can be done. Has anyone else gone thru this never ending saga?

Facing multiple cancer diagnoses over the years can feel overwhelming, and many members of this community have walked similar paths with recurrent cancers. Each journey brings its own challenges, especially when treatment options become limited, but connecting with others who understand these experiences can provide valuable support and insights. The upcoming appointment will hopefully provide clearer direction on next steps, and this community is here to offer encouragement along the way.

Sorry I left one out - in 2023 I was again diagnosed with non small cell in left lung and that’s why I can’t have more radiation.

PET confirmed 3 malignant tumors in my right lung. They are small so I’m meeting with a new oncologist to discuss options. MRI also confirmed 3 cm mass on my left kidney is cancer. Find out Monday next steps. I’m so tired of this.
