There is no evidence of spread outside of the lung area. The surgeon mentioned the MARS2 study and essentially said the results/quality of life do not support surgery. That 30% of patients die within 90 days of surgery and the data does not support a longer survival rate.

It was brutal hearing I have 18 months and that information sinking in.

I by pure chance met someone while hiking who pointed me to Western Australia where they have a lot of cases and are leading in research - they trialed a drug which had good results - but still we are talking of extending life by months - not years.

Additional news - I spoke to my oncologist today - essentially I am past surgery atm. Not resectable - need to research that. It was good to talk to my oncologist today - chemo next week. Hiking in Utah this week for some "R&R" - it was good to get out.
