Urothelial Cancer in Lung
Doug had a biopsy last Tuesday of a spot in his lung; it is urothelial cancer in the lung. We go talk to the oncologist tomorrow. Please say a prayer for us.
Thanks,
Anita

Good to hear that Doug (and you, Anita) are doing fine. This is very good news! I’m sure that the tests in the future will be fine. Thank you for keeping us updated. :)

Here’s an update (in case anyone is reading this old thread) and a word of encouragement. Doug saw the oncologist on Monday and his urologist on Friday. The one tiny tumor in the lung that was too small to be zapped by radiation has NOT grown. Doug has graduated to only seeing the oncologist once a year. He saw Dr. Bowles (urologist) on Friday and got a clean report for the bladder! Dr. Bowles practically came skipping out to the waiting room to tell me the good news. Dr. Bowles is my favorite doctor in the whole world. Doug tried to talk Dr. B into once a year for the scope, but he is keeping him on every 6 months. This was a great 65th birthday present for Doug!

Diana, I will check on the size of the 4 spots in my notes tomorrow. Doug had no problems at all with the radiation. :)

Hi Anita,
I wonder what sizes of Doug’s 4 spots in lungs and any possible side effects with radiation?
I am glad Doug is doing well.

Thank you for sharing the good news!
I’m sure that this will work out well for you guys. :)

Doug had another 3 month CT scan and check up with the oncologist this week. GOOD NEWS!!! All is looking good. He also had a scope at the urologist a couple of weeks ago with good news too. Staying on top of the appointments. :)
