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.

  • Hi Lorraine,

    Sorry to hear about this latest turn of events - it sometimes feels like it's just one thing after another doesn't it? 

    I've just had a chuckle at Max's rant, she has such a way with words ;-) I was at a conference last week and was surprised by how many people said I looked well. Though after a few drinks someone did add "... for someone who is supposed to be dead by now!" He was a doctor though ... never the most diplomatic, sensitive or politically correct folk when not in work. 

    Keep on keeping on :-)
