Hi @vic83, good to hear from you again. Merry (@merpreb), has taken some time away from Connect to care for a family member. We all miss her expertise and kind words.
There is not a specific group for multifocal lung cancer. Sorry to hear that you are dealing with this again. You are right, this is what some of us face, but it never gets easy. I’m stage IV, with continued scans, and expected recurrence at some point. It sounds like you are in good hands, and have your next steps in place.
Congrats on finally getting to Italy, that sounds like a fabulous trip! That’s exciting! I hope your sore throat resolves with little issue.
When is your next PET, and radiation oncology appointment?

Hi Lisa, thanks for your reply. Yes, we shall miss Merry and her expertise. Her experience was very helpful for me to understand the animal I was dealing with.
My PET scan is in 9 days followed by Radiation Oncology consult two days later. I have not had radiation before and am wondering about how many/how often the sittings will be.
Having Multifocal means having multiple nodules at different levels of development. To follow, I track all my nodules reported in my CT scans in a spreadsheet. It is a challenge because each Radiologist has his/her own style of summarizing.
What are you stage IV with?
