My biopsy came back positive.
This time on the bottom of the right lung.
Dr is suggesting radiation and
Keytruda.
I want to check on surgical options too.
What else can I say.

Hello singlelady61. I am 52 years old and had tongue cancer, with reoccurrence. My last surgery was in December 2020 followed by 30 doses of radiation and 6 chemo that end 2/22/22. I still can't put into words the heart dropping sensation at hearing the news. I just want to send you, though virtual, hugs and let you know you are not alone in this journey. I had radial forearm free flap surgery and radiation/chemo. I was told mine was an aggressive form of Squamous Cell Carcinoma. My heart felt best wishes for you.

@singlelady61, while I can't give your that heartfelt, first-hand experience that @leelee70 so kindly sent you, allow me to connect you with this discussion:
- Keytruda for Head & Neck cancers https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/keytruda/

I suggest asking your questions about Keytruda in that discussion by clicking the link. I'll make sure you get connected with others.
