Living with lung cancer - Introduce yourself & come say hi

Hello all,
Well.............results are in from my husband's latest PET scan for his 'possible lung, we don't really know what kind of cancer it is' test. Over a year of tests and they still don't have any more information on the cancer type, there is no visible point of origin or type, the tumor in my husband's lung has gotten smaller (only slightly) and the activity in his lymph node and cancer activity in his blood is up (only slightly). The doctors assessment, "Well, we thought when we first diagnosed this that you would be dead now, but the cancer, as of today is 'stable' and we'll see you again in three months".
It's good news at first glance but it is still a mystery, very unsettling and frustrating, as there is still no path forward, no treatment plan and no answers. Oddest thing ever. Hugs to all.

As you say at first glance it is good, but I can see how you would feel unsettled and frustrated. Hope morel night comes to help you and your husband know what is going on. It must be difficult not to KNOW. Praying for you both and hoping you get more clarification between now and the next three months.

cindylb- Oh not again! Just incredible. I can only imagine the frustration you are both feeling. But there is good news. How is he feeling physically?
