Why is surgery preferable to targeted radiation?
Lung Cancer | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (13)Comment receiving replies
Hi Colleen,
I haven't seen the surgeon yet. Her first available was in a month, now a little less than 2 weeks.
It's a long time to wait. I'm working on patience and living with uncertainty, not bad attributes to have to strengthen at any point in life, right?
It's not for sure that it's lung cancer, so I agree with Vic83 that it will be helpful to examine the tissue. What Vic83 and Mattew K said about radiation was eye opening to me.
Thanks all, for the kind answers.

@muffyy, The waiting can be one of the most difficult parts of the diagnosis process. We're used to taking action, and waiting can be difficult. It gives us time to compile questions, and to let the information sink in a bit. So, it's not always a bad thing.
Without a biopsy it's hard to know what you're treating. Many times, nodules are not cancer but are fungal or inflammation. Please let us know what you learn at your next appointment.
