We just returned from the thoracic specialist about an hour ago. This is what we learned:
1. There are two lesions on the lungs that are in all likelihood, malignant.
2. Surgery on the two lesions is not recommended.
3. The lesions are in the lower lobes of both lungs. They are also deep in the lower lobes near major arteries. To surgically remove the lesions, the lower lobes of both lungs would have to be removed and there is a strong possibility more lesions could occur. Treatment will likely involve chemo to control the growth or even shrink the lesion.
4. Judy's next appointment is on August 14 when she will see the surgeon, Dr. Kanthan. He will be in touch with the oncologist to determine whether the tumor in the pelvic area will be removed.
