My uncle's surgery went well. They were able to remove the entire growth. They took samples of the lymph nodes in his lung and upper chest to have them tested. The lungs are clear. The upper chest, not so good. In a few of the lymph nodes they found stage 3 Cancer. It didn't show up on the PET scan because they were so small, about the size of a pin head. So that means my uncle gets to go through four months of radiation and chemo. Doctor was honest and told my uncle he has a 50/50 chance. Obviously, we're hoping for the best but the reality is it might not turn out that way in the end.
