Brendan, Well, yes, I think you should definitely get a second opinion! Try to get to the best doc if at all possible. I would assume there are some other cancer cells lurking around, why not chemo now to try to get them? Lots of people go on chemo and get more time that way; they live with cancer. I guess they scanned to see if your lungs were clear. Anne
