Actually my tumor was only 1.1cm long. I used Mayo Clinic as second opinion since my Oncologist and surgeon here were pushing for surgery within a week. (During COVID).At that time the biopsy could not really show that it was even cancer. It showed signs but nothing definite. I used Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville as second opinion to have surgery. Mayo concurred. My surgeon (@Adventhealth)and I agreed that only a wedge would be taken from lung but if pathology doctor said it was cancer they would remove the lower lobe of right lung. I had robotic surgery. It was difficult to determine exact type of cancer so my surgeon sent it to Mayo Clinic in Arizona to determine it was Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma with a little bit of adenocarcinoma mixed in. They thought all was taken out and I would not have to have chemo but when 18 lymph nodes were analyzed, they found 2 of 18 had metastasized.
Cisplatin was tough and have still some nausea after pooping. Also some foggy brain 6 months from when chemo was completed.
