Welcome to this extremely informative and caring site. I second the opinion that you should set up a second opinion hopefully at a CCC. The nurse should not have said that to you, but please know that often a spot is just a spot. With what you have already gone through chemo would be much easier than the radiations you have endured if it were to come to that. Stay strong, keep your health up and please stay in touch with us.
