Hi, Candee, and welcome to the board. I'm sorry about the lung cancer, but sorrier about the run-around you have gotten. I'm glad you finally found a competent and caring onc. We were fortunate. My wife went to our regular doctor because of loss of function in her left hand and arm. He sent her to a neurologist, and an MRI was done, where the first tumor showed up on her upper spine. When we first went to the onc, his first priority was to allieve the pain! It took a while to identify the bone tumors as lung cancer because she had nothing in the lungs, except a shadow on the top of the left lung. She has had chemo and radiation and is now on maintenance. Keep posting and let us know how things are going. Lots of support and info here. Don
