A month ago had a huge shock. took.my husband to er with headache, ringing in the ears, and earlier in the week balance issues. two days later brain surgery to remove a tumor. radiation started two days ago and heard could be 3 weeks long. he had numerous mris. cat scan and a pet scan. the pet scan only showed two nodes high up in the chest that lit up. after a bronchosopy yesterday we learned there is a tumor BLOCKING the right middle lobe! My question is how could this have been MISSED after all the scans? thanks for any advice.
