Hello;
I have been going thru all kinds of test for 3 weeks now. The diagnosis is lung cancer (squamous) upper lobe left lung. The surgeon had scheduled me for surgery for today, But last week I had a lung scan and when the surgeon saw the results he canceled the surgery. He wants to do a surgical biopsy now. I'm waiting for a phone call to see if his office has set it up.
I have an appointment with my family doctor for this afternoon. I want him to give me a referal for a second opinion.
I am wondering why no one has suggested any treatment for me other than surgery. If I am to recieve treatment I want to start it as soon as possible.
I have had x-rays, cat scans, pet scans, a broncoscoyy with biopsy and a lung scan. Every test I take seems to turn out for the worse.
My best hope was for surgical removal of the tumor, but now I'm wondering if it is hopeless.
