Well the GI guy didn't just ask who my oncologist was, the oncologist came to the hospital and ordered a CT scan of my neck to find out if the lung possible cancer is a new cancer or has spread from my neck. He said it's worse news if it has spread from the neck. I think he meant if it has spread this fast to the lungs and possibly the colon, then it has probably spread throughout my body.

I debated doing the ND and radiation and chemo and now, of course, if it turns out to be this I sure wish I wouldn't have. My husband's cancer did the same thing. He had prostate cancer and it just spread like wildfire through his body. He only lived a few more months.
