Hi Linda, I can understand the anger and frustration coming thru in your question! I'm so sorry that you've had mets to your lungs. Having not known anyone with a recurrence there, I can only conclude that it would be scarey....

I don't know what the accepted treatment protocols are for mere anomalies detected in the cells....I'm reminded of the Johns Hopkins doctor I consulted last summer who said that there was no point in treating me in the absence of measurable disease. It felt like I might be playing with fire to just sit and wait for a recurrence! (Unfortunately I didn't "have" to wait long.)
I guess you'll have to find a way to comfort yourself by remembering that you and your doctors did what made the best sense at the time, given what you all knew of your condition. It's reassuring to hear that she consulted other doctors in the process....
I wish you comfort and peace, Linda.
