I met this morning with Dr. Malcolm DeCamp, head of thoracic surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. I picked him after doing quite a bit of research, because he is a lung surgery specialist with lots of experience. He's optimistic about doing the surgery, but he did think it would have to be open surgery vs. video-assisted, because of the location.
He suggested waiting for a few more cycles of chemo to see how the tumor responds, which was my oncologist's plan. I have another consultation with a surgeon my oncologist recommended later this month.
I'm recovering alright from the chemotherapy treatment last week, and looking forward to visiting Maine for a week starting tomorrow.
