Thank you all for your support and imput about different treatments. After I say a Pulmonary Care Dr. I was very down in the dumps. It seemed every specialist was telling me something different. Finally my son said to go see our family Dr. (who I have a ton of faith is and gives it to you straight.)

He said he feels confident my lungs would hold up and if I do have to spend sometime on a ventilator the team at the hospital already has a plan to try to wean me off. He said that there could be complications but that this is a fast spreading Cancer and if I didn't have the surgery that maybe I would survive the year but that it wouldn't be a pleasant way to pass away.

He also said don't worry if they changed my breathing meds in the hospital and I didn't do as well on them if and when I came home he could always put me back on regular meds.

I'm still scared but at now I'm not terrorized. There is no way I could go to the Mayo Clinic or any other place that was to far away financially impossible. Talk about timing, just a few months ago they built a very large, what they are claiming is a very cutting edge cancer center about 20 mins from my house. I still have to go about an hr. drive from my house for the surgery but for after surgery treatment it will be close to home . I can't have anything to do with radiation because of the lung disease but thanks to your replies and other info on
this site I see there are other options. I'm feeling more positive about the situation now.
