If you have had this what was your treatment? I have already had 35 treatments of radiation and chemo and a neck dissection removing 12 limp nodes and carotid artery..  dookelbug Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT I had brought up this subject mos ago and never rec'd any responses. I don't know about the cyberknife. Do you know for sure the nodules ARE malignant? If so, how did you find out? I also have 2-a small 4mm one in right lung and a larger, 6X9mm one in my upper left. Also a hilar lymph node shows on PET with focal hypermetabolic activity. But noone is saying it IS metastatatic from my SCC. They are waiting and watching-if it grows, it apparently is, but if it stays stable over 2 years, proboably not. What are the actual statistics of stage IV metastizing to lungs? Have never found any. I'd love some more info on this! Thanks so much, Gayle  gayleann Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT guys this is a doctor question...good luck jusykitty Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
