My Mom got her results back from her first round of Chemo and Radiation. It looks like the majority of the cancer is gone (which we are very happy about) except for one area. The area that is still lighting up in the PET scan is a small area of nodular metabolic uptake in the right peritracheal region. There seems to be no protocol as what the next step should be. Her doctor has mentioned a few options at this point. The two options that she is suggesting is either surgery to go in and try to remove what is left or (SRS) stereo tactic radio surgery. I was hoping that some of you may have more information or recommendations on what to do next. We have an appointment next Thursday with her doctor so I would even be open to suggestions on what type of questions I should be asking when we go in so that we can make the most educated decision. Also, has anyone had SRS and has it been successful? I am sorry for all the questions I am just trying to gather as much information as possible.
Thank you for always being there!!
