Lisa Mallon Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hello, my name is Lisa. My husband was diagnosed with sqamous cell lung ca. 3 years ago. He had a right upper lobe resection followed by chemo. Cancer came back 2 years later in his left adrenal gland. He got that resected and had 6 chemos . He also developed melnoma on his rt ear lobe. He got that excised. So his last pet scan shows activity in a few places ... but the SUV numbers are below 5. Well that is about it. Just want to do as much as I can to keep him around.

Tom Galli Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Lisa, Welcome here. I had the same form of cancer (Squamous cell) and had a resected right lung followed by surgical complications, chemo and cyber surgery. Have also had several squamous cell skin cancer resections. The PET SUV > 5 should be watched and I'm sure his oncologist is on top of things. I hope he continues to be well. Stay the course.
