[quote=Kelly211]Don,

Did they biopsy your lungs? I had two spots show show on my lungs also (one on left, one on right). My ENT thought they showed cancer but the RO said they were the wrong shape. Did biopsy which showed inflamation. [/quote]
No biopsy of lungs. The PET-CT seemed to show the inconclusive spots, same as you one in left and one in right. I never heard anybody describe shape or such, just that from the scans the spots could be inflammation or C or ?

Hi Kelly,
From what I was told it seems that if cancer has gone Metastatic to lungs, then there is no cure and treatment is limited to controlling growth of those lung cancers without the possibility of killing them. However, I am very new to all of this so I could be way off base.

A FNA biposy was done directly from the neck mass but since there was much inflammation cells and not so many tissue cells, they did not want to go off that along. So, I went under general where they took a few tissue samples directly from throat and pathology on those confirmed SCC HPV+ and were consistent with what the FNA indicated.
