Re: Lung met question
I hope you will refer to my response in your other thread on the same subject. First one needs to be sure it IS cancer. As I recall, you have not had a biopsy to determine that. In my case, the areas lighting up on scans were only old pneumonia. But I found out too late. I would have been better off seeing a pulmonolgist first who would have treated things like an infection to see if there was response to antibiotics. Instead I ended up having a surgical biopsy that ended up as a lobectomy due to the incorrect diagnosis of cancer....
Try to have somone outside of the cancer/surgery world evaluate you too
Keep the faith
