  • I know exactly how you feel 

    I had cancer in both lungs, 5 yrs apart, lassurgery November 23 chemo finished April 24. My 3 month scan is next week (13th August )

    Dont be alarmed at my reoccurrence 5 yrs apart.  My second cancer was initially seen when first was found but it was not reported on, however it remained stable for 5yrs before starting to change and it was a different type to first one that was removed. 
    having been in this position I know it’s a worry and sometimes never totally goes away but do try to stay positive. It’s half the battle as hard as it is to do

    i wish you well and hope your results are good news x

  • Thank you for your wisdom and advice I am going on the premise that I feel really well and hopefully I'll get a result that will say N.E.D
