Adenocarcinoma - newly diagnosed

Hello. I had my PET scan today and got the results back same day. This is the diagnosis: 1. Findings of primary right upper lobe neoplasm with low right paratracheal nodal metastatic disease. 2. No evidence of distant metastatic disease. I spoke with my Pulmonologist and he said this is considered stage 3A. He is contacting an Oncologist and hopefully I can meet with both of them either this week or early next. He suggested the Oncologist might want a biopsy of the lobe (mediastenoscopy?) or a bronchoscope/ultrasound & biopsy. Very overwhelmed. Has anyone had success with surgery at this stage?

Hi @pixiedust, I wanted to check in with you. I'm sure @lls8000 and @flusshund can share more about your staging.

Did you get the biopsy done in the meantime? What is your treatment plan? And most importantly, how are you doing?
