Welcome to Connect.
When I was first diagnosed with lung cancer, I asked the Pulmonologist questions for 3 hours...the next day, I asked the Thorasic Surgeon questions for 3 hours. At first it was intense. Then I felt trust, and greatly appreciated their time to explain and discuss the seriousness of my diagnosis. Find a team that
you have faith in. The research with lung health and lung cancer information available is plentiful today, 10 years after my diagnosis. Are you working with the most experienced teams? How many people does the medical team you are working with properly diagnose and properly treat in a year, or to date? Do you feel you need a second opinion?

Thank you for the reply. This is all new to us so I didn’t have questions to ask. I am glad you brought up those points.
