Update friend had his radiation consultation on Monday to be 10 days from what said Monday - Friday with Saturday & Sunday off - called today while gone
for the appointment for the for the mask & simulation set up for this coming Wednesday. there could be up to 12 days all total with the set-up and follow up after the radiation treatments.

Back from the Genomics and Biospy (https://iuhealth.org/find-medical-services/precision-genomics the skinny guy in the blue suit is the one we met with Dr. Schneider) and hoping the ultrasound lab did not screw up - they done the LT Axilla Lymph node (this one that has shrunk & responding to treatment and not growing) was under the impression that they were to do the supraclavicular neck lymph node which is the one is growing and not responding to chemo & prembo This took well over an hour longer than before Guess they thought it would be safer to the the LT Axilla Lymph node than the supraclavicular neck lymph node it is very noticeable in size.

The literature we got the testing is GPS Cancer molecular profiling and Liquid GPS The Genomics Dr. looked mainly at the supraclavicular this was to find out if there is any other chemo/treatment to get it under control Right now i don't see in my mid how testing etc the wrong lymph node will provide the data they want but what do I know....

Shall be a tiring couple of weeks with the radation trips...

@reibur1951- Good morning. It's incredible the new terms and treatments that have shown up for lung cancer just in the past few years. You are a medical dictionary now! Did you ask why they did the biopsy on the nodule that was showing success?
