hi everyone,

im very sad to be joining you tough cookies in the recurrence forum.

We found out this saturday that the nodule biopsy from left lung came back positive. just trying to cope with the news of reoccurrence at this point and hope for some news mid-week about what the next steps will be.

I am really hoping it is just an isolated nodule and we will be able to blast it away.

it is squamous cell, the same type of cell that was in his jaw tumor.

any advice is appreciated on how you guys get through this.

hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of july!
