Thank you so much for the information.
My brother was diagnosed three weeks ago with non-small cell lung cancer and had his top lobe of his right lung removed.
Doctors told him it was caught at Stage one, which is very rare, that no lymph nodes were involved and he wouldn't need any follow up treatments. The doctors sent him on his way, telling him to come back in 6 months.
With all the information here, that advice is making me nervous. I wonder now, should he go get another opinion.
Prayers up for Peter Jennings.
Scary stuff.
Kimmy, TRUST ME...I know people who have survived Lung Cancer..decades ago. Sure, get another opinion if it makes you feel better....but eventally you will have to trust one opinion or the other..Blessings..sw
I don't know anything about lung cancer but I had breast cancer and my doctor had me take 12 weeks of chemo (1 treatment every 3 weeks) just for precaution measures. If you or your brother are worried about it I would get another opinion. I know that I would.
You can get his test reports and x-rays and have another doctor look at them or have another doctor do the entire checkup over again. I still see my Oncologist every 3 months and a cat-scan and bone density tests every 6 months. It's been almost 2 years that I was diagnosed.
