Hello @carolman210, welcome. I'm sorry to hear that you're facing this diagnosis. Please know that lung cancer treatments have advanced significantly recent years. There are options now that didn't even exist just 10 years ago. There is hope here, and we'll help you through this. Keep biking as long as you can (of course as long as your doctors approve), as it can be great for your mental health too.
Have you had a PET scan yet, or a biopsy?

When I meet with the surgeon this week,I’m sure he’ll schedule for a biopsy. And no, I have not had a pet scan. How is this different from a cat scan?
I am encouraged to know there is new technology for lung cancer. I am dreading the treatment. I was taking interferon for my Hep-C for 2 years and it made me extremely tired and my hair looked awful and yes it did work, thank God.
Thanks for the encouragement, I really need that😊
