@pjsfla I can tell that you’re very upset and that’s understandable. And I’m glad you feel ok to have a rant here—it sure helps to get the frustrations out! I would suggest that you carefully list you questions about your cancer in your lungs, and ask the lung cancer group. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/lung-cancer/ The mentor, @merpreb is very knowledgeable.
Can i ask if you have anyone go to doctor appointments with you? They can be so essential to a good meeting. They can write down everything the doctor says so you can review it later. My husband did this for me when i got my autoimmune disease.
When do you have your next appointment?

Hi Becky ! TY for your understanding . It's been a long fight and I'm feeling worn down . It MBC , so not technically lung cancer , and said to be in my lymph nodes in the R lung. No one helps me, except with rides, so at least that part is good. I had to move from sunny South Fla , leaving behind my fam , my friends and my business I built up for 20+ yrs , to battle cancer here in Portland, OR . Then covid hit , right when I went bk to clean out & sell my home. Anyway , seeing a NEW oncol next Tues. Best Regards to you , PJ
