12. Klukie -- is your husband doing OK?
My sister-in-law was just diagnosed with
Stage 3A lung cancer and had her first PET/CT scan
today...so we don't know how bad it is.

It sounds similar to your husband's condition
based on your description.

They have told her that they will be using a
combination of radiation and chemo on the
tumor and surrounding area, but they haven't
suggested surgery yet. Maybe they are hoping
to reduce the tumor before they look at surgical
options.

We are worried sick about her.
