I think there are actually very many long-term survivors out there. We just never hear or see them here because they move on. It's not cus they don't care about coming here it's just cus they are busy and maybe don't want to remind themselves of the tough times they may have endured. I kinda fall into that category. I was NED for 5 years and after visiting this site every day several times a day for about 3 years I kinda got out of the habit and would just not have the time to get on here. Had too many other things going on that I was able to do and I basically wanted no reminder at all of this Beast. Very recently I had my 5 year scans and was floored that they saw a small nodule on my left lung and possible bone mets to my left hip and spine area soooo now I'm back here for support and information. So I do think there are A LOT of long-termers out there!!! We just don't see them. Good Luck and Stay Positive!!!!!!

I didn't want to wait but they told me with the size being so small the chances that it would light up on the PET would be minimal, apparently they have to be bigger. But I do have an oncology appt. on the 21st and she may want to speed things up a bit. My Surgical Oncologist and the thoracic surgeon both decided on the wait approach because of the smallness but also said the Oncologist may go ahead and speed things up.
