Hi Dragon Sparks,

The surgeon did remove the lymph node, but I guess if it comes back showing live cancer they radiate the surrounding tissue? I think I told you my genetic marker showed ALK. So after radiation, I will go on a medicine called ALECENSA.
Imeran Angels is a nonprofit- I get care at Stanford and the Social Worker hooked me up with the non-profit https://imermanangels.org/.
It took two months before I had a telephone screening, then I was given the name of my cancer support person and we talk about once a week. Sometimes we just text- It is very comforting to talk to someone who has been through what I am going through- They will ask you lots of questions about yourself and what is important to you in a cancer mentor.
Keep me posted-
april
