Thank you all for your input, now I have many good questions to ask Monday when I go for my second opinion. I asked my nurse how they knew for sure it was cancer and she said it showed a high metabolic activity.I don't know if they have a specialist there that does the radioactive ablasion. I am going to the Hershey medical center so if anyone knows of a good Dr. in PA please let me know! I think I will see a lung specialist first, I have known other people too who have undergone lung surgery and found out later is wasn't cancer. The dr I am going to see wasn't in favor of surgery three months ago but agreed with my Dr that it needs to come out. I'll let you know what he says, and thanks for all your replys! It helps!
