Well hubby went to the surgeon yesterday, Bottom line there will be no surgery. Lung function results, and possible spreading to the chest wall makes it impossible. Also the cancer has destroyed a rib bone.
He will be getting a medianoscopy. It is removal of lymph nodes in front of his windpipe for biopsy Durning this surgery doctor will put in a cather to deliver chemo.
Chemotherapy is on the table, and he is taking it.

Lung Function test, and other stuff.
The results of my husbands lung function were not good. Doctors are worried about IF he can go with part of his lung gone.
The tumor board of MMC seems to think so, they had a meeting, and felt my husband could be ok with a chunk of his lung gone. But before they start removing body parts. They want to check on the lymph node that lit up on the PET scan.
His PET scan showed some possible cancer in his lymph nodes in between his lungs. So a few days ago he had a bronco scope test, where he took a biopsy of the lymph node. The results came back today were negative but inconclusive, which means the surgeon will cut pull the lymph node out, test it. Waiting for the surgeon to call back.
Doctor ordered an MRI with contrast on hubby brain, for the life of me I do not know why.
At least will will have a peaceful thanksgiving.

Lung Function test
Well my husband had his test yesterday. Not sure how it went. I guess we will find out. Thursday his case will go before the "tumor board" Then I should hear from the doctor after that. The upside he will get a break from being poked on.
