Joan,
What is an RFA?Was the lung surgery painful?My tumor is deep in and they can't get to it to biopsy it.How did they know for sure what yours was,they told me that my tumor didn't light up til it was 1cm and they don't worry until it lights up.They knew about it a year before they told me it was even there.I go Monday for a second opinion at a larger center with another oncologist.He told my Dr that we need to get it out of there.I did not meet the criteria for the trial he wanted me to be in three months ago.
