my husband 1st had a brain tumor which was an adenocarsinoma with characteristic of spread from lung, but no primary was found. After surgery they radiated the spot. then another brain tumor showed up and that was successfully radiated. Finally in Dec. a small nodule in the lung showed PET active. It was radiated.

starting chemo

my husband starts chemo next and was looking for a forum where others were in the same boat. I see posts where spouses are stressed because their affected person is too careful of infection.
