Do you have a date to see the oncologist?
While I was waiting and wondering,I posted on here and just to know that others were replying and they were reading and understanding did help me. Keep writing to us.

Thinking of you.

Mary I hope you got my reply but not sure if it went through xxx

Very good, thank you. This time last year I was in hospital recovering from major surgery. A recent CT scan has showed no recurrence.

Hi Mary 

just to let you know that meeting with lung surgeon was quite positive. It is a very small lump on the top of my right lung. I am having a biopsies on 14 Jan and depending on outcome he is hoping that he can remove it with possible chemotherapy after if needed.

we are determined to keep positive but it is so hard. I have not told our families as I want to wait till after Christmas.

will have to tell them then as we always go abroad and obviously we can’t .

Think I’m dreading that the most. Keep well and wishing you a lovely happy healthy Christmas and New Year xxx

Thinking of you, now and later. Keep your chin up.

Thank you . Just trying to enjoy and looking forward to Christmas Day with my family. The rest will come later Got my Pet scan on New Year’s Eve. Have a wonderful magical Christmas

Remember to let us know how the scan goes, please.

I will  ️will be a long day as my scan is at Edinburgh on News Years Eve think we will be leaving early to miss traffic 

How is life now?

Long day Mary but everything went ok.. Now waiting for biopsy been done on 14th January. Have told families now as we should have been going abroad on 4th Jan. Was so hard it broke me and all of them. But as I said we have to be positive since it has been caught early.

Did you have a lovely Christmas and New Year I hope so ️

Well done. Being positive, if you can, is a good thing.

I did yes, thank you. Christmas 2023 I was in hospital recovering from major surgery. Christmas 2024 I was at home with my better half; I could ask for nothing better :-)

Still staying positive but hubby is struggling with it all. Think it is the waiting in between procedures that is getting him down.but we are coming up with ways to keep his mind off the way things are. Did you find the same problem eyour partner? I try not to overthink things or look to far forward just till the next procedure. It’s lovely to talk to you though about what’s happening Thank you so much for keeping in touch xxxx

The waiting for results was stressful! However, my only symptom was what I called a slight swelling, so I had thought there couldn't be much wrong with me and just wanted them to get a move on and find out why it was there and do something about it!
How is the weather your way?

Were you told when you would have results?

Hi went for the needle biopsy on 14th. He hadn’t seen my results went to find them. Came back and said tumour hadn’t grown showing no other growths but had decided to send me for a camera biopsy. I was totally thrown as I was ready to get the biopsy next thing I was dressed and walking out. Have got my appointment for 27th already but now worrying that something else has been found.How are things with you our weather has been a lot warmer thank goodnessso have been out a little more. Still being careful as lots of viruses are still going round our area. Xxx

I shall think of you on the 27th. That waiting is so stressful!

It is cold and grey outside. So far so good with me, thank goodness.

Thank you feeling a little stressed but will be glad when it over. Have to go to Edinburgh for it so have booked into hotel near hospital as my appointment is 8.30 . 
How did you go on with the storm?we were lucky only lost electricity for 12 hrs. What a nightmare  xxxx

The 27th has been and gone. Fingers crossed.

We were very lucky here, just very windy and rather wet.

Everything went well just a very long day. Feeling a little tired and sore today but they said I would be like that for 48hrs. Been lovely here today hopefully a few nice days this week 

Hope you are well xxx

How are you now?
