      Hi Mary,  Thank you for your note.  No, she was not treated after her lung surgery.  Not sure why really.  The Oncologist felt it was slow growing and surgery would be all she needed.  We now know he was incorrect.  She is being treated in Great Fall, MT and will be in touch with her Oncologist tomorrow as she just got home today from the hospital.  He has previously mentioned treatment, chemotherapy, but based on yesterday's findings I really don't know how much time that will offer her.
