Your husband doesn't want to know the results? Oh, my. If you tell him that you need to know because then you can prepare to help him and provide what he needs would that help?

We went to the lung specialist and found out it wasn't about whether or not he had cancer. It was about if the biosopy could be done. To find out what type of cancer he Has and what the best treatment for it. The lung specialist strongly suggested it was from his previous cancer. The throat cancer usually does metalize in this amount time. I asked if he could tell us how long he has it. He looked at his ct scan in Jan.,that scan was clean. Also lung cancer doesn't appear that fast. After looking at his present scan, he couldn't safely do a biosopy.

I don't exactly know I should reply at.
It seems like there for awhile there were quite a few replies.
An update, he had his biospy last Thrusday. The dr.who did it came out and told me....If the lympnotes are cancer free, then the nodule is also noncanerous. But if the lympnotes have cancer so does the nodule. The prior prognosis would also have to have surgery. Where the latter would be radiation plus chemo. Well thank Heavens for small miracles, her ideas were wrong. The oncologist called the next day and said, no dignity of cancer in the lympnotes. Still don't know a 100 % that the nodule is cancerous or what type. The next step is just radiation without chemo. The nodule had grown from July to Sept., not a lot. I was also told that usually means cancer but not always.
Which should be starting in 10 days.
