Adenocarcinoma - newly diagnosed

Good morning! A couple of updates: I had the pulmonary function test on Monday - have not received any info yet, and I am scheduled for a brain MRI on Saturday. I feel that things seem to be moving but not fast enough. Also, still waiting for the gene marker results which don't seem to have come back yet...does anyone know how long that takes? Also, has anyone had a mediastinoscopy done? When I spoke with the surgeon he mentioned that would be done IF surgery was an option...

Thanks as always...
Sandy

The gene marker test will probably take the longest, but it is imperative that they have that because it is so helpful to determine what is driving the cancer so they can treat it the right way. It's amazing what they can do now based upon markers and genes! I hope your MRI turns out well, and I'm glad things are moving along for you. I know what you mean about them not moving fast enough though! I think we all feel that way when were first diagnosed with cancer at the beginning, it's all the unknowns!
