My dad was diagnosed last Friday with Stage iv nsclc. He has a 3 cm subcarinal mass with malignant pleural effusion to the right lung. It’s adenocarcinoma. No lesions in the head or liver, at least from the ct scan. We are pending a MRI brain and pet scan. They sent liquid biopsy (ctDNA) on Friday and next gen sequencing from the malignant pleural fluid. We are super scared my dad is 72. I can’t imagine him not here. The results should be back in 1 to 2 weeks. The wait is driving me crazy.
