Hello. My mother was diagnosed with Non small cell lung cancer stage 1B three 1/2 years ago. They did surgery and that was the only form of treatment. For the last three years all of the scans have showed up with no signs of reoccurence. Then two weeks ago, the scan showed three enlarged lymph nodes and nodules in the pleural.
She has gone back for two more scans and an MRI. All coming back with the same results.
She is going for a second opinion tomorrow at Duke. She also has a biopsy with an attempt to remove all the lumph nodes.
What I would like to know is if anybody has gone through this and what to expect. When i read about reoccurence, it is very negative.
Will my mother be able to live a normal life after this.
Any advice will be great!
Thanks and take care,
Alexan
