  1. Thank you eveyone!!! I will talk to my husband about a second opinion. I am thinking about having him go to the to The City of Hope. A second opinion will probably help us out a lot, especially since his Oncologist seems puzzled to me. Thanks again, everyones feedback makes me feel like we are not alone.
  2. Hello, I am a newcomer. I have been coming to this site since January of this year to read everybody's messages. It helps me to better understand lung cancer. My husband has adenocarcinoma, stage 111B. We found out in December and had surgery to remove what we thought was only one large mass. It turned out there were many masses, so the doctor removed the large mass and two other ones and left the rest. I didn't understand why the doctor didn't remove the lung. The Oncologist gave me a reason why, I just don't want to except it. I am scared and afraid. My husband is a 28 year old non-smoker. My husband opted against chemo but is taking Tarceva. He has the most awful looking acne like rash. He says it doesn't bother him, it just looks bad. Has any one ever heard of the cancer not showing up on cat and pet scans? Even though we know the cancer is spreading in his lung, the doctors can not see any tumors/masses on the scans. We know it is cancer because the two other masses the doctor removed (ones we did not see) along with the original mass that we saw all came back as cancer from the pathology report. The oncologist is at a lost because it is hard for her to help when she can't see what is goning on.
