@covington, I hope you are able to take comfort in the responses here. We all seem to agree that the decision that you are faced with is unreasonable without adequate information and knowledge to make that decision. I hope you are able to get additional help and advice from a doctor that can review your case in its entirety.

To help to clarify - my thoracic surgeon, who works in the cancer center and specializes in things like lobectomies for =cancer patients.

I am learning, I think, that this does not make her an oncologist.

So, my meeting tomorrow, with her, I will be introducing the question of "How do we also get the opinion of her respected oncology colleague for the proposed procedures?"

Does that sound right to everyone?
