Lung cancer survivor discusses his lung cancer treatment
Before Tom Barber was diagnosed with lung cancer, he had a recurring cough that doctors repeatedly treated with antibiotics. A CT scan later revealed a 4-6 cm tumor in the upper lobe of his lung. For his lung cancer treatment, he underwent a video-assisted thoracotomy (also known as a lobectomy) at MD Anderson in August 2009.
Within three weeks, he was back at the gym lifting weights. He has subsequently completed 5K and 10K runs, a half-marathon and two triathlons. Barber says his quality of life after lung cancer treatment is even better than it was before lung cancer.
