Hi folks, I'm SATo. My husband just did his biopsy. He has a 5x4x3 cm lung mass on the right lung that transverses two lobes. Doctor said it was highly probable it was cancer and prob. stage 2 or 3. Biopsy cytology reports we got off the patient portal says it's preliminary positive for malignancy. Lymph nodes are negative for malignancy. MRI/PET reports say there is no other observable metastases so that's also good. Anyway, I'm here to listen and get/give support as we do this cancer journey. The shock has worn off but my husband is still roller-coastering emotionally between anxiety, high stress, depression and despair (which isn't surprising), and we're not even at the formal diagnosis/treatment plan yet. Speaking of which, even though it's great it's localized, the surgery for a tumor spanning the fissure between two lobes seems tricky from what I've read with not always great outcomes for someone my husband's age (79). However, that's for the surgeon to figure out. I'm worried for him mostly because he's made a few seemingly joking offhand suicidal comments about 'running into traffic' etc. I asked the doctor for psychosocial oncology support services and he said he would hook us up once the formal diagnosis is done but it's scary. I'm afraid to leave him alone for very long. Hopefully this forum will find provide some suggestions etc.
