So here is a question, at the end of January i rolled into the surgeons consultation room, fully expecting him to discuss my forth coming surgery,

instead he informed me it was to be delayed, until maybe the end of april to maximise the surgery in extractin all of my diseased lung tissue, now he a very clever man, and my oncologist agrees with on the basis that they dont wat to open me up to find six weeks later they missed a bit.they make it sound so simple

but my fear is that the nodule will use this extra time to create lots of new friends in my lung , thus ruling out surgery as my last hope of a cure

so do i trust my oncologist and surgeon and go shopping for skirts?

or do i give into my fears and accept that i wont be cured?

I have a similar problem yet different. Let me explain, I have recurring sarcoma in my intestines which I believe to be in-operable. I had to have a bowel by-pass as tumours were blocking my intestines. I developed an infection in my wound of which I'm into a month of healing, however oncology tell me there is nothing they can do until my wound is healed. Meanwhile like you I am left thinking the tumors have now had an extra 4+ weeks to grow. It seems like catch 22. What do we do in the meantime? how can you possibly get on with living when every day, every hour, every second the cancer grows stronger. I think I'm looking for a miracle to be honest.
