rvillella Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Well yesterday (Friday)they did the Bronch and the Mediastenoscopy. The surgeon says that the initial results on the lymphs is negative but that the tumor in the bronch is to close to the main bronch that they may not be able to do any resections. I see the Onc on Monday and then will decide if I get Chemo first to try and decrease the size of the tumor. Then maybe, just maybe they can do a resection and not have to take the whole lung. The surgeon says they should have the final results on the lymphs by sometime next week. Here's keeping your fingers crossed and all.

cindi o'h Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Ralph. Hoping along with you that the path reports are clean on the rest of the specimens. Also that there will be a way for you to have just a resection. Thanks for informing us and keeping us up to date on your progress.

melaniem Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Ralph, I had a tumor on my bronch too, and they were able to resect it. Mine was actually right on the border of bronch and young surgeon didn't want to take it, but older mentor surgeon guided him and it was successful. Thank goodness for age and wisdom, huh? Hope you have good results too. Melaniem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nushka Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hope you get good news next week. Perhaps after chemo you will be able to have the surgery and get the tumor OUT. I know I felt better having surgery. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
