Yes, patience. But I’ve decided that if waiting is what we as patients must do, then the doctors aren’t feeling an urgency about treatment.
I was diagnosed in late June with a recurrence of lung cancer after more than 6 years. 2 nodules, 2 tiny nodes. Here it is, August 9, I’ve had a PET, but still need a brain MRI and blood test results before we can even think about a treatment plan. I’m praying for mid September at the latest.
Praying for you and your healing. Never give up!

@mattieg, I was diagnosed six years ago too, stage IV, and I'm still doing well on my initial treatment. I think overtime we get better at dealing with new nodules and scary stuff. That doesn't mean that we can't, or shouldn't, push our doctors when we need something. 🙂
What type of lung cancer did you have the first time? Has your blood been sent for biomarker testing already? Those do take some time. I wish they were quicker.

@mattieg My patience is in agreeing to see what the next CT scan shows regarding the new nodule. I have been and will continue to be persistent about moving forward with treatment.
