How does lung cancer effect the lungs?
It kills you....
Not necessarily true at all! It's not so much the lung cancer, but the effects on the body from chemo and radiation. And if caught early and treated aggressively, it may rarely kill you!
It is not. Lung cancer, as with any cancer, is caused by a cell losing control of itself and continuously dividing. You get large, worthless, and sometimes harmful groups of cells replacing the good ones. Of course, all cancers are harmful. The sometimes harmful here is referring to cells which actually damage other cells instead of just rapidly multiplying and ousting the good cells.
Should you take antioxidants during chemotherapy?
Discuss everything you are taking or wanting to take with your treatment team. And it never hurts to ask what everyone else is doing while you are sitting in the waiting room(s).

Cancer does make the world a smaller place. It is amazing how many strangers become your friends and how we all pull together. It touches us all in one way or another.
Visualization helps. Think of something attacking those cancer cells during your treatment. My dad wore a shark hat and pictured sharks chomping away. It did help that he was a life long fisherman. He did enjoy remission from a stage 4 lung cancer. So I do have faith for you! Chomp, Chomp, Chomp!!!
