Living with Lung Cancer

Hi there all well i was diagnosed with nsclc in nov 2007 and had a full left lung removed in dec07 too i then had chemotherapy for about 4 months which is the most horrendous thing i have ever experienced.I ended up back in hospital near my last cycle of chemotherapy due to severe sepesis which i later discovered was life threatening so it was a good job i went to the hospital when i did.

i recovered from that eventually.Then unbelievably last new years eve 08 i found out i was pregnant,my goodness what im pregnant his cant be right so i took more tests and all were positive i coulnt beleive it.Well as time went on i was doing extremely well in the pregnancy although i did have a few scares in the beginning,but was starting to bloom after a few months.

I was about 34 weeks pregnant and i started to get terrible headaches in which i just thought ohh its just the last part of pregnancy as i was also getting breathless too with just having the one lung.i thought i need to rest more so i just started to sleep as much as o could.in my 36th week of the pregnancy the headaches were getting stronger.on this particular day i barely got out of bed ,then i couldnt keep a drink down or food, eventually my husband called emergency dr they wasnt really helpful other than to just keep an eye on things as soon as her put the phone down i vomited blood up in which we went straight to the hospital.

they were a bit baffled to start with all but after tests and then finally an mri scan it showed i had a brain tumour.all i could think about was my baby.i was transferred to a different hospital a day later and then had an emergency cesarean and then a brain tumour removed 3 days later, they told me that it had spread from the lung well hear i am telling this story and just praying that this is the end of it all,it has been such a rollercoaster ride but i am so blessed to have my little miracle baby.

i have read a lot of stuff that isnt very promosing so i just have to pray it doesnt come back. any replys will be greatly appreciated as to what stage would you say my cancer was and a prognosis as i havent really been given one as they say well at the moment (and hope it lasts) my body is cancer free!
