Thank you so much for your responses. This forum is a great place for people to connect, and I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
My concern was the distant metastasis in the lymph nodes of the bronchial. Finding this meant that it was systemic and was of great concern for the doctors. Am I right in assuming that even though it is systemic he could hopefully go into a partial remission and remain in a partial remission for some time, if lucky?
