HI everyone. I have posted before but rarely get a response. My grandmother has lung cancer that is squamous cell and has left the lung and wrapped around her spine. Does anyone have a similar case? Thanks.

    My husband has this type.It's a 3b.He's finished 34 radiation and 8 chemo with it.We're waiting for him to be strong enough to take aggressive chem every 3 weeks for I don't know how long.It's been 2 months since he finished his first treatment.He still doesn't feel good.Has pain in his chest most of the time.Drs.said they can treat it,but it's not curable.We go to the Chemo Dr. tomorrow.He had blood work this morning,so hopefully we find out something.Keep in touch & I'll do the same.
