My Mom has a malignant spot on her lung.She hasn't smoked for nearly 15yrs./no one else smokes around her.She's had x-rays since for colds in the past.They found it after she had pneaumonia a month ago. Her oncologist put her on a med.(oral)that is for breast cancer/side affects include lung damage.I had to force her to get a 2nd. opinion.Should't her dr. have told her to get a 2nd. opinion?He obviously doesn't have the market cornered on curing cancer.Aren't 2 heads better than 1 when it comes to fighting for your life? If they hadn't seen it in the past & only it found now,was it there all along,just undetectable(too small)?If so,that means it's grown,right?This spot couldn't just pop up at the size it is(1/2 dollar)now,can it?If it's grown,why would he put her on a pill.what would this pill do for her & why would he tell her to come back in 2mons.?Won't it grow more in that time?My parents are in their 70's.They still believe dr.s are like they were in the old days.
