Hello @everythinglucky and welcome to the Cancer support group discussion on Mayo Connect. I'm glad that you found this forum. It is a great place to share your experiences and encourage others as well as be encouraged by the stories that others will share.
I see in your post that you have had one tumor removed. How long ago was that surgery? What type of treatment plans are being explored regarding the larger tumor near the heart?

I had my first surgery on August 11th. Right now there are no treatment plans in place. When the larger tumor was removed, the doctors had no idea what type of cancer I had. They first told me that I had stage 4 Lung Cancer. They had several multidisciplinary meetings trying to determine what type of cancer I have. I was diagnosed with cancer in June and had a needle biopsy (of the large tumor) in July. They couldn't determine the cancer type from the first biopsy so they decided to remove the smaller tumor. They just found out on Wednesday (9/27) what type of cancer I have. I see a specialist on Wednesday this week to hopefully discuss a treatment plan.
