so my mother has a pre history of about everything including ovarian cancer which was "removed" in 2004 then again in 2005
she had a ct and pet scan
the pet scan brought up the obvious glowing areas all over both her lung which was first diagnosed as (? brown glass,ground glass?)
she has minute noduels all over both lungs and it is glowing brighter on the lower lobes
the breat and lung institute where she went has sent her back to her ovarian oncologist
to decide if he wants to have or biopsy or just start chemo,,,,,,,,, my mom is convinced it is cancer
the pulmonary dr. said they are leaning towards cancer but cannot say with out biopsy
but because the nodules are so small and all over a biopsy probably wouldnt show anything
so-----------WHAT DO YOU THINK
should they just start chemo-----which practically killed my mother last time? or do a biopsy and hope that it will show something or they are technically advanced enought to get to something to biopsy and KNOW that it IS cancer before doing chemo
I DO NOT KNWO WHAT TO DO-------------- WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS THAT OUT OF ALL YOUR WONDERFUL PEOPLE HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS DOES IT SOUND LIKE IT IS LUNG
CANCER ETC.
MY MOTHER IS VERY ILL OVER ALL AND HAS SMOKED FOR 43 YEARS----------- I DONT WANT TO LOSE MY MOMMY TO ANOTHER CANCER NOW---------PLEASE HELP
