Hey,

just checking in, PET scan revealed tumor on my lung. Does anyone know about the location of incision? young, still vain (but not for long), read a lot about a chevron incision? have not had consultation with surgeon yet.

Might want to check over on the lung cancer forum.  Good luck.

Oops, I meant too close too lung for a biopsy. Going in on the 11th of August to have three tumors removed on my liver (laparoscopic). Two are in a good location, the third is next to a main artery, were I might have to be opened up. Getting more peace everyday about this.
