Update
One more round of 5fu and then I prep for lung surgery March 20th. The plan is to remove some lymph nodes that lit up on the PET scan and section off a portion of my right lung.

Stage what?
So my husband had his surgery and we asked what stage he was in and the oncologist said "stage unknown". What???

She even called and questioned him to make sure…
