Well, the appointment went about as expected- it's more "spread out" than the surgeon feels confident in removing all-so I'll be starting chemo this week to try to shrink or at least stop new growth-they also did a chest CT, if that shows positive, I don't think surgery is the way to go-I've not seen anyone survive more than 6mos w/"it" in the lungs. Will find out more tomorrow....
I really have to hand it to you guys- the books that Gerri sent and the webwhispers site are phenominal! Your support is instumental to my continued health.
more later...
