5 years ago my Fiance had a malignant sarcoma tumor in his arm; he followed up with all of his regular MRI check ups except for last year. His last MRI was 2 years ago and up unit now everything seemed to be gone. On his last MRI they found a "8mm mass on his lungs". He was advised that if the cancer came back, it would come back in his lungs. Is this catching it "early"? Does this prolong prognosis? Is there risk of that the cancer has already metastasized? He is a smoker, but is in the process of quitting.

this is a secondary cancer,and has already metastasized,its a bit late on the cogs now

Oh dear? an 8mm mass on his lungs in never good news.

I feel sorry for your both, especially for your fiancee?this is definitely not caching ?it? early, for it is a secondary tumor, and a big one.

Once you?vie been diagnosed with cancer, you must keep present you?vie become a cancer survivor for as long as you live and thus never, never, ever think or believe you are over the fence, so to speak; cancer is treacherous and, as a survivor, one must NEVER let one?s guard down.

As for the prognosis, see what the doctors have to say, and make the BEST out of it.

Yes. This is early because there could not be anything earlier than this, although it has metastasized. It still can be removed.
