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!

Yes, “most likely” lung cancer on adrenal gland.
Oncologist understood our concerns and ordered another CT after 3rd chemo.
- If mass is smaller, then it’s lung cancer - continue plan.
- if mass is same size, then not growing - continue plan.
- BUT if mass is larger, then it’s not lung cancer - reconsider quickly to avoid adrenal cancer spread.
