Great news - no other spread detected

Just been on the phone to Angela from the team at Royal Marsden Fulham who has confirmed the PET/CT scan has not uncovered any other evidence of disease spread.  This is really good news.

Now we need to to arrange surgery to resect (remove) the lesion (tumour). 

Have been referred to Mr Ladas at the Royal Brompton.  I will be calling his secretary on Friday if they have not been in touch to arrange a meet up.

Next steps
1 - Meet Mr Ladas, hear his op plan (take out the lobe? or take out the lesion (tumour)
2 - Mr Ladas to decide what pre-op prep their might need to be eg meet the anethetist, fitness tests etc.
3 - Get a date for surgey
