All four doctors - including the doctor who performed the bronchoscopy said it was either a bacterial infection or Turberculosis at worst based on the CT scans (all three) and even after the scope procedure itself.

The reason why this was the case is because how the cancer has established itself in Jen's lung - the cancer is actually within a pulmonary cavity (a air capsule if you would like to put it simply)!

This means it is impossible to measure the size of the tumor other than the fact that it is at maximum the size of the cavity itself (2-3cm) and that none of the surrounding area including the lymph & blood vessel channels show any traces of cancer.

To put it short - the cancer is completely isolated surrounded by a pocket of air within Jen's lung.

At the same time - the type of cancer is the same between the tongue and the liver and hence they are unable to determine even with further tests whether this is mets or a new primary..

You can now see why I am so confused and baffled by this all...!
