  1. Thank you for the replies - it is good to feel welcome. Deb's PET scan came back with confirmation of her lung mass as well as masses over both adrenal glands - and they found more activity in her lymph nodes. We have met with a few oncologists and gotten second opinions - the strongest advice we have received is to use gamma knife for her small brain mass, and chemotherapy combined with Iressa for the other tumors. We are sending samples from her already removed brain tumor to the Baylor Medical University lab in Houston for genetic testing - the advice here is that they may be able to better define treatment based on the results. Take care everyone, I will be checking back soon. Bob
  2. Hi everyone: I found this message Board about a week ago, and got some time to register this morning. I am really glad to have found this group, I was having a very tough time last week trying to understand all that has been happening so quickly since Deb was admitted to the hospital for the brain tumor that they found. It really picked both of us up to hear that others have been fighting and surviving Stage IV NSLC - much of what I was finding on the Net beforehand really brought me down... We are off to get a PET scan this afternoon, and are praying for the best. My gratitude to the folks have put this message board together - the stories here have given us hope. Be back soon, Bob
