Thanks again for your advice. My SO has prepared himself for whatever the docs say. He just wants to get things moving. The faster the better. As for me, this is not my first rodeo so I know how the whole thing works. My late husband had stage 4 non small cell lung cancer. It was found in his brain first. I know all about chemo, radiation, the gamma knife, cryoblation,and keeping on top of the cancer as it reappears. He was suppose to live three months if he was lucky. It was three years almost to the day. I was widowed at 40. These groups helped through that so I wanted to find one again.My SO also lost his father to lung cancer. I told him that all cancer is not the same. Told him that we will just have to stay on top of this. He has a good outlook just is in a hurry to get it gone as everyone is.
