Hi all my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2017. He had chemo before his surgery. He had Mets to the liveras well. Now he has Mets to his lungs. His Dr said he is a candidate for a Pulmonary Mestastasetomy. Anyone here on in this forum know what that entails? Thank you
Good morning and and welcome to the Online Community , although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your husband.
My cancer journey is rather different but I did do a Community search for Pulmonary Mestastasetomy and did not come up with a hit but you may want to try our Lung Cancer and Lung, secondary cancer Forums where you may connect with people who understand the journey your husband is on.

Go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab just under the main group name and set up your own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group - you could just copy an paste what you have in this first post.
