Radiation treatment
Has anyone developed skin tags after radiation treatments? I'm noticing some skin tags after my radiation treatment.
What happened to Java The Hut?
He went to the Maxwell House to treatment.
Lung Cancer/ Pact Act
I am posting this for support purposes. I'm sure we have some Veterans in this community.
In mid March I was told I had lung cancer. Obviously I was concerned about my family. I talked to my VSO and she told me to come and meet f2f. Meanwhile I submitted a ITF. I submitted all the documents I could get and a claim was submitted. The claim was under the PACT Act. Last week I was granted 100% Service Connected.
Now I am less concerned because now my family will get my disability payments should I die.
Just wanted to put out this information for those that didn't know.

SSDI
I've been living with cancer for three months now. I wanted to ask members do I qualify for SSDI? I applied two weeks ago and will I be eligible? Stage 4 NSCLC
Edit: I am approved. That was QUICK. First payment Nov 25th.
Chemotherapy Side-effects
Getting ready for Chemo shortly. I know what drugs I will be getting. The infusion will be Carboplatian/pemetrexed/pembrolizumbab. I'm asking if anyone can give me some info on side-effects and how long they last after infusion.
TIA
Home care
I am diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and I have a question.
Aid and Assistance, where can I get some good information? I think there is a knowledge based web site.

First PET/CT Scan
Lookin for the option from the survivors on the narrative and image of my first PET Scan. I'm prepared to read the good and bad. TIA
Stage Detection
Since I was told that I have lung cancer I've been wondering what stage I am.wonder Won't know until June 22nd. So I'm going to assume stage four.
Has anyone here wonder where this could have been detected in a earlier stage. I rack my brain some times thinking about it. What could I have done to make this discovery easier to understand. My PCP knows I am a smoker for 40 plus years. As a matter of fact I just recently saw this sign in my VA Clinic. I'm disappointed.
