Hi @ponytail, welcome to the Lung Cancer discussion. This disease is complicated, and thankfully we have a variety of treatments now too. I'm glad that you are getting the treatment that you need.
You mentioned that your biopsies were negative for cancer. Did the tissue from your wedge and/or lymph nodes confirm cancer?

I was diagnosed with NSCLC back in February, stage II. Treatment plan was neoadjuvant chemo & immunotherapy, then a lobectomy. As mentioned, the surgery was unsuccessful due to scarring, but the Dr did take 4 lymph nodes as well as a wedge of the tumor. All came back from pathology negative for cancer. But still they're proposing radiation along with chemo again, which is how they would treat inoperable cancer...even though labs were all negative now.
