@scared2 If you feel that everything is moving along too quickly, you have the right to say “wait!” Tel the doctor that you need to understand what is going on and what the plan is. And why the pulmonologist is sending your husband to a surgeon. Each doctor probably assumes that the other has done explanations and answered questions. The doctor may get irritated, but he’s not the one having surgery!
Pull out the journal you’ve been using, and start writing what you need to know. Everything! My husband keeps a journal of every visit, what is saiid,etc. You’ll feel much better when you take some control! I know you can do it! Will you let me know how your visit to the surgeon goes?

The surgeon said he couldn't operate due to my husband's lung capacity, he only operates if the patient is at 40 % and above. We heard alot ifs from the surgeon. He went for his 2nd ct scan today and 2nd physical. Just in case IF its not cancerbut an infection. His primary dr, gave him his physical and noted once again about pre cancer lesion on my husband's arms. There hasn't been any other symptons of cancer. They haven't checked his nails for lack of lines or the chubiness of the fingernails.
