🙂 Thanks for your rsponses, I appreciate them but once again life got overwhelming and I haven't been checking in here.I had a wedge resection surgery in May on the left lower and it was stage 2 so I'm glad I got in, I got referred to Gandara at Davis in April and he'd recommended molecular testing on both after biopsy or surgery( i think that was the term) to compare what I now call Thing1 on the right and Thing 2 on the left but after Thing1 in 1/24 I'd landed at an Oncology office that after all this time just last month kind of "broke up " with me using the "it's not you ,it's us" method saying they are radiation oncology and I don't need radiation and they can't order that kind of testing so they were referring me back to Davis and that was a month ago and I'm just frustrated and overwhelmed. I'm feeling pretty good overall , my ribs started hurting with a poking feeling but I have read that is normal and it's only in the 5th month after surgery, I asked onc about odds etc and she said they'd cover it at next appt, but now I don't have one so I still have questions and like I told surgeon no matter how cute he is I would rather not just have him take pieces of my lungs out yearly until there is nothing left lol.

@silvergirl29, I'm glad your sense of humor is intact. 🙂 Being passed from specialty to specialty is difficult. Most of us don't see oncology early on in the process, and I sometimes question that approach. You should establish care with an oncologist, so I would continue to press Davis on an appointment. You still have questions to be answered, and they can help to manage any future scans or issues. Are you able to get an appointment by calling the office?
