Like you Georgia robs scans pre-op were clear and like you we were shattered to hear he had 4 lung mets.the similarity ends there really as robs neck tumour was so aggressive the lung mets never got a look in.
You are so very young(even younger than Rob was) that if it is only the lung mets that are threatening your life ,then i would insist chemo starts asap,and try to squeeze every last ounce out of life
good luck
