My husband was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma. He's having a PET scan today to try and determine if it has spread to his lymph nodes. If it isn't in the lymph nodes, he can have surgery to remove his lung, which would mean a complete cure. If it is in the lymph nodes, he will undergo chemo to try and slow the growth. If the PET scan is inconclusive, he will have a lymph node biopsy next week to determine the course of action.

I'm sorry to hear about that chaimsmom, I will include him when I say tehillim/daven. I wish him a refuah shelmah.

The PET scan looked good. He should be able to have surgery.

REFUA SHELEIMA BESOCH SHAAR CHOLEI YISRAEL.

You should tell us bsoros tovos soon.

My husband had a lymph node removed yesterday and the biopsy came back negative (no cancer in the lymph nodes). He will be starting chemo on Monday and G-d willing should have surgery in mid May to remove his lung. Thanks to all who are davening.

Just wanted to let everyone know that my husband is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow.

I hope everything goes well.

How'd it go? (or when is the exact time-frame he'll be having it?)

B'H he had the surgery and all went well. He is in the ICU, but breathing on his own. He should be moved out of the ICU tomorrow. Thank you to all who have been davening.

Baruch Hashem. Continued hopes for a refuah sh'leimah.

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.
