Cynth....for starters, please find a thoracic oncologist affiliated with a hospital or clinic that deals specifically with cancer....Don't know where you live but Mayo (Rochester MN and Jacksonville Fl) Moffitt (mine) Tampa, FL, MD Anderson (Houston), MGH (Mass general) Boston, Memorial Sloan Kettering (NYC) John's Hopkins (Baltimore) are just a handful of the best. I would do so asap. It is worth the effort. Please let us know what you decide to do. We all know how scary it is but taking action helps ease the helplessness feeling. We are here to be supportive and helpful. hugs to you
