   <p>Cut it out and be done with it. Cisplatin will ruin a lot of your body. Living with one lung gives you bragging rights.</p>

   <p>Well pneumonectomy is off the table. Biopsy shows it's not lung cancer but a huge met from my endometrial cancer from 13 years ago. It's fused with my pulmonary artery. So, it's carbo/taxol and targeted radiation to hopefully shrink the darn thing and keep it from growing more. I'm terminal and trying to buy time.</p>

      <p>So sorry to hear. This indeed is not a easy decision, please take the time and look at the pros and cons for both options and work closely with your doctor.</p>

      <p>Yeah - was mentally ready to have the lung removed. Now it's chemo/rad to see if it will shrink some to buy more time</p>
