I forwarded this letter to a list called cancer-l - I thought you'd be
likely to get a response.
>In September '93 I had a 4 centimeter moderately well differentiated
>squamous carcinoma resected in an upper right lobectomy. The stage was
>T2N0M0. No radiation or chemo. No recurrences. Doctors consider this
>tumour controlled, but want me back every 6 months for X-ray and check-up to
>look for second primary lung cancers. What kind of cancers appear in this
>case? Does small cell cancer occur? I stopped smoking before the surgery
>in '93.
>I have posted this request for statistics and information in several areas
>of the internet and have had zilch professional response. This is beginning
>to be a mystery in itself. There has got to be a database somewhere that
>has this information especially with the mundane frequency of lung cancer.
>Even though only 9 to 12% of patients have a bright prognosis like mine that
>should make up a substantial number of people; at least enough to build some
>statistical projections on. Thanks to whomever takes this on.

lots of love - and various animal sounds
