More Bad News

Hi my forum buddies. I got bad news this morning when I had a follow-up with my lung surgeon. The CT scan I had last week shows two new cancers on my lung, just about the same area that I had a cancer removed 2 years ago. We discussed where we go from here and I made it clear that I'm not going through another surgery on my lung, along with all the surgeries I'm having re bladder cancer. She agreed with me that I've been through the mill for the last almost 5 years now and she understands where I'm coming from. She will order a PET scan as that will tell us what else may be going on. Certainly not what I thought I'd hear today as I actually don't feel too bad, other than the awful issues I'm having with this bladder cancer. Besides which, everyone tells me how well I look. I guess looks are deceiving for sure.

  • Oh Lorraine,

    So sorry to read your latest news. I can understand your decision not to have more surgery.

    Did you discuss alternative treatment options today, or will you need to have the PET scan results before a treatment plan can be decided?

    I'm not sure I can add much more other than to say that I'm thinking about you and sending hugs across the world to you!

    Keep us up to speed with how you're doing and we'll try to keep your pecker up!

    Love Jo xx

    P.S. I know what you mean about 'looking well' - It's a phrase I hear often - funny I didnt hear it as much when I wasn't unwell
