My symptoms were pain in the shoulder blade that shot straight through to my chest. I had pain running down the inside of my arm and numbness in the arm and hand. I was diagnosed in 2003, and was stage 4 inoperable. I underwent chemo and radiation and the last month I had radiation twice a day. I am in my 7th year and my symptoms are returning the same way they started. Related Reading: running Viewer Comments are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

I received thoracic surgery for my pan coast tumor, followed by radiation in 2001 and still have Horner's Syndrome symptoms. I have been able to enjoy a very good quality life and returning to most of my activities a few months after the treatment in 2001.
