    Hi!  So, we went to see the radiation oncologist and he wants to 6 weeks of therapy and an MRI of the brain...just to check.  He says we are hoping to cure this.  So far all of the doctors, when asked, say "it looks like NSCLC" and "it looks like squamous"  Why do they not answer in the definitive?  Is this normal?  The next appoints are Jan 3--medianscopy, Jan 4--medical oncologist, Jan 5--simulation, and somewhere in there the MRI--to be scheduled.

      So, today was supposed to be the CT simulation but was a consult instead.  I didn't go because we thought it was just a test.  I listen to the recording and the doctor said that it looks like a node very close to the esophagus is involved.  I don't think I got he entire recording.  The doctors never say cure...control or manage only.  Is that a bad sign?  My mother said they said it could be 3a. 3b or 3c?  I've never heard of 3c.  Has anyone else?

      This will be short. Responding with iPhone. Never heard of 3c stage. 3a or 3b is likely stage. No oncologist I know uses the work cure. Lung cancer is persistent. But, they've been controlling my disease for nearly 13 years. 

      Stay the course.
