It is just mind boggling to me as to why treatment will not erase it in the lungs as it did on his BOT. Susan, so glad for you that your husb was able to have surgery to remove the cancer! Praise! They have told us surgery is not an option as there are 15 small spots on John's lungs. We are holding out hope that this round of chemo will shrink them, at least until a new breakthru can be made, and yes, there could be some miraculous discovery in the next couple years, who knows? Staying positive is hard, but there is no option. I have a feeling this sounding board will be my sanity for awhile. Bless you all.
