How early is 'early ' when it comes to detecting lung cancer? |
5 years ago my Fiance had a malignant sarcoma tumor in his arm; he followed up with all of his regular MRI check ups except for last year. His last MRI was 2 years ago and up unit now everything seemed to be gone. On his last MRI they found a "8mm mass on his lungs". He was advised that if the cancer came back, it would come back in his lungs. Is this catching it "early"? Does this prolong prognosis? Is there risk of that the cancer has already metastasized? He is a smoker, but is in the process of quitting. Oh dear鈥?an 8mm mass on his lungs in never good news. I feel sorry for your both, especially for your fianc茅e鈥his is definitely not caching 鈥渋t鈥?early, for it is a secondary tumor, and a big one. Once you鈥檝e been diagnosed with cancer, you must keep present you鈥檝e become a cancer survivor for as long as you live and thus never, never, ever think or believe you are over the fence, so to speak; cancer is treacherous and, as a survivor, one must NEVER let one鈥檚 guard down. As for the prognosis, see what the doctors have to say, and make the BEST out of it. this is a secondary cancer,and has already metastasized,its a bit late on the cigs now nurse Yes. This is early because there could not be anything earlier than this, although it has metastasized. It still can be removed. |
