[Waiting in Limbo]

Waiting truly does just suck.  Not like the hurry up and wait of boot camp. More like waiting in a hospital for word on a loved ones condition. Just it's you.

They are most likely waiting on genomic testing results.  This will guide their treatment. Normally 2 to 4 weeks. Hopefully you've had an MRI by  now and are fully staged. 

Know this.  Lung cancer is not an automatic death sentence.  I was diagnosed stage IV with Mets to my liver, skin ,and brain July 2020.  The next month I developed a whole new stage 3 head and neck cancer. I've been in full remission since March 2021.   

If you read the statistics just use them as a guide to treatment. Don't trust them as a guide to life.  Trust that you can be treated.
