Mark, I actually didn't have any symtoms. They caught it on my 3 month ct scan. Then they gave me a pet/ct scan to confirm it. Since I'm suspect for stage 4 lung because of left side supraclaviclar lymph nodes positive for SCC, they scan me every 3 months. I still have no primary for a definitive dx for lung but they are more than certain its there. It just hasn't manifested itself yet. I am believeing that the chemo and radiation I got for it knocked it into oblivion. I had 1 nodule in my left lung upper apex and had it removed and gladly it came back neg. I try to keep a positive attitude but am not always able to but in time I learned to rise above it. We have no other choice. It is what it is and to give it anything other than our complete determination to defeat it is unacceptable to me.
