Jane it is a very scary journey. You are so right. He is our rock through it all. Thanks for the prayers.

Thanks Tom. It is only in the lower left lobe of his lungs from what the testing so far has shown. We just had the cat scan Tuesday to make sure it is not in his brain. I appreciate the info on SBRT. I will be sure to discuss this with the doctor.

Thanks Steff. We have scheduled an appointment with a thoracic surgeon next week and see about the radiation the following week. He has had the biopsy.

Thanks. As soon as we get set up with the radiation in the coming weeks and will add more details.

My name is Anna. My husband has just been diagnosed with Stage 1 non small cell lung cancer. He has a ton of other medical issues including major heart issues, emphysema and COPD. They have said that his best option would be surgery as it does not appear to have spread, waiting on the results of a brain scan. This option would have about a 70% survival rate. However, they say that he isn't eligible for the surgery due to his other issues. We have an upcoming appointment to schedule radiation and the say that has about 40-50% odds. Going through the emotional roller coaster right now. Glad to have found this group.
