i received my pet scan results today and i am very confused.it says the findings are suggestive of carinoma of the left lung apex with metastatic lymphadenopathy in the left lung hilum. now my doctor wants to do a brancostopy to determine if it is small cell cancer.i am wanting to know if it is terminal.i would like to know in order to plan..

 Dear Jimuff11,
I am sorry to hear that, but You have to wait again for the results of the pathological examination of the biopsy he will take through bronchoscopy. In addition, you have to complete your work up with abdominal Ultra-Sound and other investigations he will recommend to determine the stage of your disease. The treatment approach and prognosis differ according to the type of cancer cells, and the stage of your disease.
Best regards,

I would like to know the symptoms you had before you were diagnosed? I posted a question and has not been answered yet. Thank You.
