Hi all. I'm so sorry that I haven't posted here for 3 or so weeks. I am so grateful to the 2 people who replied to me before but when I got the results of my most recent scan, I shut off from everybody. I was expecting my Consultant to say that my last scan a month ago was clear and that when they did the Lobectomy on my right upper lobe that the cancer had gone. However, he has sen an area of " opacity "at the bottom of the right lung so I will need another scan in a couple of months as he needs to see whether there is a change or whether it has cleared. Hopefully it will be clear but I am scared that the cancer is back because I am getting a couple of symptoms which I had before. I think the waiting is awful though I understand it's necessary.
People on the forum are amazing and I have friend's who are still battling cancer after a few year's of Chemo and Radiation treatment and they are so brave and when we get together we laugh...a lot, which helps! Does anybody with Adenocarcinoma of the lung have sore upper arms which are so painful that certain movement's make you yelp? I had ths when I was first diagnosed with cancer last June and the pain went after the Lobectomy but came back about a month ago. I had the Lobectomy in September, 2018 but still get very tired and I get coughing bouts which last for an hour or more and also get nerve pain where the drain was. When the weather is cold that seems to get worse. Anybody else get any problems after Lobectomy. I thought I would be further along bu am finding my voice is shaky, which I hate.
I have always been very independent and push myself to do thing's but find I'm still quite limited. Grrrr! Take care everybody. Thank you for ploughing through this! All the best, Danni88
