Hi there... sorry about all of this. The wait is the worst and most dangerous part. I know that radiation is likely off the table but sometimes it's a doable situation depending on the previous amount and location. If this is a newer area, they might be able to hit it again. There is also Photodynamic therapy, and surgery as a final option. I would definitely get the second opinion, but in the interim doing what you can via chemo isn't a bad idea.

best of luck and push push push. also you do need to find out for sure if there is lung involvement.

hugs.
