I am looking for someone who has had cervical cancer followed by lung cancer. My situation is that I was treated for cervical cancer in 1997 and now have had surgery and treatment for lung cancer. I would like to share experiences with anyone in a similar situation. Doctors can not determine whether mine is a metasteses or a new primary site.

    cervical cancer / lung cancer
    I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 1994. It is now 2009 and I have been batteling lung cancer. The Drs don't know if the lung cancer is metastisis or a 2nd primary lung cancer. Has anyone else had this situation.

    I was diagnosed and treated in '07 for cervical cancer. All my tests have been fine. Then a couple months ago I had a cough. My family dr did a chest x-ray and found abnormalities. I returned to the cancer center and was diagnosed with lung cancer. Since the nodules are too small they cannot biopsy them so I am being treated with cisplatin and topotekan for 3 days in a row every 3 weeks.
    I've no idea if it is metastatic or a new cancer but I'm fighting it with everything I have and will continue until they tell me I'm dead.

    cervical cancer can spread to the lungs
    This is common metastatic site. The good news is that it can be easily treated. Mine was found less than 2 years after cervical cancer treatment of chemo/radiation. Small tumor was removed quickly, apparently no need for chemo. 4 weeks after lung surgery I am feeling pretty good. But expect to be closely monitored for the rest of my life.
