      I could really use some positive information on my husband's latest ct scan.  7 months ago my husband had a lesion in his right middle lobe which was removed successfully by VATS procedure.  They got it all & deemed him NED.  Now, in his latest CT scan they found a 2.9 cm lobular lesion just medial to the uncinate process of the pancreas invading the superior mesenteric vein.  He is being scheduled for a pet scan next week to determine if it is melanoma again.  His doctor doesn't think it is but obviously wants to eliminate the possibility.  Is anyone on this board familiar with something like this? The waiting is awful since we found out. We were so happy for the last seven months thinking that maybe this was the end of this roller coaster ride.  He had the mass in his lung for two years while on a clinical drug & it did not spread.  

      Any words of comfort or information (good or bad) would be greatly appreciated.  

       

      Thank you
