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.

@scared2 it must be so frustrating for you. So many things are making everything even more confusing. Is there someone you are able to talk to?

Hello @scared2,

Is there a Cancer Center of Excellence in your area where you can seek a second opinion?

Here is the website for the American Cancer Society, https://www.cancer.org/. If you look at the top of this website you will see the phone number for a Cancer Hotline. If you call there, ask if they can recommend a Cancer Center of Excellence for lung cancer in or near your area. Perhaps a second opinion would be a good idea now since your current doctor isn't willing to operate with a 40% lung capacity.

Will you give this a try?
