Thanks so much for posting, just been diagnosed with andenocarcinoma with one pea size, 5mm? Two other spots may or may not be cancer, too small for biopsy, no strong activity. They want to remove whole lobe, then if the other are determined later to be cancer, metistatic, stage iv, palliative care only.. I too have PTSD, MST, etc. Yesterday was giving up, today- survived too much in life to give up now!!!

Hi, apologies for taking so long to reply. Please don't give up!! When I
was diagnosed late 2018, was sent to a non thoracic surgeon. I was told
they would do a lobectomy, it was metastatic, and then given only
palliative care.
Thank goodness I chose not to blindly accept that diagnosis. Ended up
coming to Mayo, had partial, resection surgery on one lobe, and radiation
therapy on another lobe about a year later. No, it's not been a picnic
with the follow-up scans, recovering, etc, but no one at Mayo has given up
or told me palliative care was the only option. I currently have nodules
in 2 lobes, thyroid, and on an adrenal. They are all stable and my next
check is not until June.
I'm a active senior, swimming, walking my dog, hiking, hoping to take up
biking again, kayaking, volunteering, etc. Let me know if I can help in
any way, promise to respond in a more timely manner,
