No…as I remember, after removal, the pathology report confirmed I was stage 3. When cancer spread to lymph node attached to lung, then diagnosed with stage 4 and started target drug and IV.
So much to remember and so many changes with each process. I take each day and enjoy it…it gets overwhelming if I look too far down the road!
Feel free to ask questions…so much to understand so quickly!

Yes, everything constantly changes with each test, scan, and procedure. Mine started at stage 2, but after the kidney biopsy it went to 3. After removal, CT scan on the lung mass, so I do see how it changes and nothing is really definite. It is overwhelming and stressful at times. Even more so when I’m trying to figure out employment, finances, housing, and health insurance. Let alone the ever changing hazy diagnosis and prognosis.
