Living with lung cancer - Introduce yourself & come say hi

I don't have a definite diagnosis, just what the doctor said looking at the CT. I still need a biopsy done. The only doctor I trust here is my GI Doctor. I asked him to look at the CT. He called me at home as other people can see messages sent. He said wait to see what the PET and biopsy show. He also said to get a second opinion and Stanford has a Cancer satellite in a town close by and, if it goes that way, Imcoukd get treatment there and stay home. I am aware of Mayo in AZ but, also due to my husband needing to stay near his Cardiologist, at least for a while, it would be difficult to gave to travel and stay somewhere. I don't know how people do that then have no bs Kip when they return home. Thanks!

I realized I skipped over something that in my case led me to leave my state for Mayo, but likely is just what you are looking for where you are. Google "best lung cancer hospitals in California" (and also just "best lung cancer hospitals" to see the National list) and you'll see a US New & World Report article on patch.com. In my case our major metro hospital wasn't even in our own state's top 10 and even the better ones nearby didn't look that much better compared to the Top 20 nationally. Since travel wasn't as issue we quickly decided with that info we wanted to travel. In California it looks like both of the places you asked about are listed in the National Top 20, which would give me great comfort with staying in your area.
