Hi everyone,

Can anyone fill me in on the chemo protocols for lung cancer? Or are there are range of cocktails out there dependent on the type of lung cancer it is. I was tentatively diagnosed with lung cancer but am awaiting to find out what kind it is.

Thanks,
Lance

    Thanks Denise,

    I figured that was the case. This is my third cancer and I am trying to get the lay of the land as quickly as possible.

    Cheers, Lance

    Lance,

    I hope your tentative turns out to be a negative. You can have different kinds of lung cancer at the same time. I had three different kinds. As for the treatment, it's true-there are different kinds of treatments. I had a list of questions for my oncologist the first time I met him. If you go to Lance Armstrong's site, there's a list of questions to help you.
