Thanks for your reply. Is knowing if primary or secondary mass essential?

Hubby”s had 2 adjunct chemo treatments thus far post Lobectomy. He just saw oncology surgeon who thinks biopsy needle might have missed the malignancy in the small mass. Both oncologist and surgeon say to finish 2 remaining chemos, then redo radiologies. If mass remains, then Adrenalectomy. At that time I will ask about robotic biopsy.

Is this a good plan?

It makes a lot of sense to me because it’s straight from the doc. And they seem to assume that if the adrenal mass is derived from the lung mass, it will react to chemo he’s taking for that. Makes sense to me.
I am no substitute for a doc so I’m happy you have the guidance from them. Stay in touch!
