Hello,
My mom was recently diagnosed with nonsmall cell lung cancer. It has spread to her lymph nods on her left side as well. The tumor is in her left lung. She is 60 years old, is and always has been a nonsmoker, and has mild scleroderma (Crest syndrome) in her fingers and hands. This is new to us,she was diagnosed two weeks ago today which seems like years ago.. We have been doing our research, visiting multiple doctors and searching for the best place for her. I am wondering if any of you have recommendations for my Mom. We are looking at places across the country and world if need be. We want to find someone who is familiar with dealing with Lung Cancer and scleroderma together. We need to find a facility that will do radiation (one Dr. said he wasn't sure, he'd have to wait until the first sessions of chemo were over) and one surgeon said he wouldn't operate. We are desperate need of recommendations, advice, prayers, whatever we can get to help our Mom. She is the world to us. Please send some advice our way.. Thank you... Toni
