  • Will I definitely lose my hair during chemotherapy?

    Hi, There are measures that can be taken prior to receiving chemotherapy which would assist in reduction of hair loss. This includes use of cooling cap- ask your oncologist's office about this. If you are having chemotherapy treatment for adjuvant therapy, then these regimens can cause hair loss- again this depends on chemotherapy drugs. For most patients regrowth can be expected a few months once treatment is completed. READ MORE

  • What is radiation treatment for lung cancer?

    In the treatment of lung cancer, several types of treatments might be used either together or separately. These treatments include surgery (to cut out the tumor or lymph nodes), chemotherapy (medication used to kill cancer cells) or radiation therapy (beams of particles similar to an X-ray that kill cancer cells). Radiation therapy uses a beam of energy to disrupt cancer cells and kill cancer cells. Since it only works where the beam is directed, it is good to locally control a cancer (in one area). For lung cancer, this might mean radiation to the area where the lung mass is or large lymph nodes are - to get rid of tumor completely or reduce its size if it is causing symptoms - like blocking air passages or causing bone pain, or causing bloody cough.
