In Oct 2017, my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer when a very small tumor was found during a routine preventative lung scan. He attempted to have surgery, in Dec 2017, to remove the lower lobe of his lung that contained the cancer, but due to too much scar tissue in his lungs that made it impossible to do without completely opening him up. The surgeon felt with the tumor being such a small size that radiation would be a better option, and the more complicated and more major surgery would be performed later, as a last resort, if needed.

His radiation treatments began Jan 2018, went great, and the already small lung cancer tumor had shrunk to more than half it's size and was still continuing to shrink. We both thought, "Yep, he's going to beat this lung cancer, and all will be great." He just, out of the blue one night, started complaining of severe abdominal pain in late August. A catscan done in ER revealed a large mass on each of his adrenal glands. The hospital immediately suspected lung cancer metastasis, but a biopsy would be needed to confirm that. My husband was admitted to the hospital, released, and readmitted 2 days later for abdominal pain, and ended up with pneumonia, as well.

When he was released the 2nd time, we got the biopsy scheduled for Sept.2018. It took forever for them to get back with us with the results. (All the while my husband is having aterrible abdominal pain and is declining rapidly .He how also had a mass in iis mouth too

m
aking it terribly painful for him to attempt to eat).
On Oct 4th When they did finally call us they said that it's Not lung cancer metastasis as they had originially thought, but as of that time they still had no idea what it was. They said they'd now run out of tissue due to the massive amount of testing they'd done already. They said they needed an entire lymph node to try to figure it out without running out of tissue again. He had surgery on Oct 5th to provide them with an entire lymph node. October 18th he ras diagnosed with Epitheliod Angio-Sarcoma and a hospice referral. He died 6 days later. on Oct 24th
