Hi Wanda! There are several possibilities for your friend; however how do
they know it is NSCLC if they do not know the primary? Does she not fall
into the CUP category? Did your friend get a second opinion and is she
being treated at a cancer center? If you could answer these few questions
for me I will be more than happy to do an extensive research. Your friend,
lillian
Warmly, lillian
