Anyone who has been keeping tabs on my other post re: Jen and her road to recovery would be surprised to see a post here in the recurrence section.

Unfortunately, the results of the biopsy obtained from the bronchoscopy surprised everyone with the isolated nodule (2cm wide) in her right lung coming up as positive for SCC.

We are now preparing for our next round of treatments with a PET scan scheduled in for Wednesday followed by the multidisciplinary cancer team on Friday.

Their initial thoughts is that it is operable via keyhole surgery and they will assess the PET scan results to see if further treatment (chemo / radiotherapy) will be necessary afterwards.

I don't think reality has quite sunk in for either of us and we are a bit in shock and would appreciate any feedback, comments and/or advice anyone who has been a similar situation with their road to recovery..

thanks.
