My sister also just found out she has several tumors in her lungs. We go for further testing this week to try to determine if it's metastasis from her oral cancer, which is what we are expecting. They have already labled her cancer as incurable. But we aren't giving up that easy. We are looking to travel cross country to MD Anderson as soon as possible for a second opinion and praying for a miracle.
