Anyone have multifocal bilateral groundglass alveolar on CT scan?

Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it. I am NSCLC, stage 2B, right lower lobe. I was originally told that surgery was an option immediately however because the mass is up against the rib, it would be best if I did some treatment prior to surgery so that I did not have to have an open surgery but could rather have robotic. I opted for immunotherapy but have only had one treatment which was the end of Oct. Oncologist has only been running tests since. I am scared that if I dont move forward with "something" be it treatment or surgery it will spread. I am due to see oncologist on Friday 12/6. Hoping I will learn some kind of plan. I have had nausea and fevers since the first immunotherapy treatment on 10/31.

I am sorry for your anguish.
My husband had a ground glass nodule (found incidentally) which was followed/scanned for 10 years with no changes. Then a nsclc mass was found in same lobe > LL Lobectomy, chemo, metastasis to adrenal, now immunotherapy. He opted for immediate surgery, but perhaps if he had seen oncologist first and done some chemo prior to surgery there would have been no metastasis.
What is your plan? We learn from and support each other here. Pls keep us posted.

Sharon, @sharonsturdivan, It has to feel deflating to not feel good after this amount of time. Immunotherapy is a fantastic treatment for some, but not for others. It sounds like the surgical team was doing their best to be cautious in exploring this treatment prior to surgery. Hopefully the oncologist has a recommendation that works for you, but keep in mind that many people get through extensive lung surgery too. I'm sure it's not easy, but you've already gotten through some tough times. Best of luck with your appointment on Friday. Let us know how it goes. Hugs.
