Update:
The PET scan results were good, I think and hope.
It showed a place in her groin but don't believe it is malignant, otherwise the tumor seems to be local and nowhere else.
Next is to schedule a biopsy with a pulmonologist. This will tell what type of cancer and what stage.
Thanks guys, y'all been great!

Thanks for the prayers guys, they're paying off.
Biospy said the cancer is non-small cell and slow growing, which is good news.
That means that surgery is a possible option and maybe a "cure", but it may require the removal of one lung because of the location of the tumor, directly in the main bronchial tube of that lung...we thought it was lower down in one lung for some reason?
Don't know yet if radio-chemo is an option and maybe save the lung...probably a lot we don't know yet.
So far, about as good as we could hope for.
Edit:
Mama says thanks too.

That's great news, MM. Science has come a long way in the treatment of cancer. I pray that your wife has many, many years left in her.

Encouraging news! One of my best friends had lung cancer about 12 years back. I’m pretty sure it also was small cell. He's doing great and mean as ever! I’m sure Susie will also. I know it’s tough times for you, your wife and entire family. I continue to pray for you all.

After all, who else will take care of you? ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

M.M.
The treatment is so much improved compared to my earlier years. Technology has made such a difference. Testing is more reliable and safer.
Your situation is not funny, but I do have a true funny story.
I had a patient with abdominal pain that I could not diagnose and I sent her to a gastroenterologist. He ordered a CT scan. Only minor problems were found.
When she came back to see me, she said "I hate those CT scans and do not want to ever have another one. They put me on that hard table and rolled me into that dark tube. I have claustrophbia plus all the noise that thing made frightened me even more.
I said, "When I was a young doctor, we didn't do those tests. We did exploratory laparotomies". She asked me what they were and when I told her, she said "I'd rather have a CT scan!!

I'm not normally up here on the site but the title of the thread got my attention. Sorry to hear about your wife's problem but glad you found out it is not near as bad as it could be. Hope all goes well in the treatment and we are praying for her. My wife and I are getting ready to celebrate 56 years in about 23 days. We were married in a small Baptist church in Madison Co. between Berea and Richmond in June 1964 just after I reenlisted in the Air Force so I would have enough money to buy me a suit to get married in. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Old Norm,
Thank you for your service. I want to thank all of you guys who served our country in the military. I did not serve in the military. I was afraid of going to Vietnam and joined the USPHS in 1966.
M.M., I certainly pray for you and your wife every day. I pray for many of my friends who are much younger than me who have major medical problems and are disabled worse than me.

So true, cc, so true.
We all know that our little debates mean nothing in the end. They don't put food on our tables, pay our bills, protect us from harm and certainly don't change anyone's mind, and they usually wind up right where they started. On top of that, the people we are fussing about could not care less.
It's the people in our lives we love, and love us, that matter. They keep us grounded, give us strength, hope, the will and determination to overcome adversity.
As you said, with God's help nothing is impossible.
