Hi Jo, I think I missed something along the way here, because I can't find your post about you having lung surgery on Mon. Here's hoping that all goes well and that you're back up and at 'em in record time. I too will be thinking about you on Monday as I go for my follow-up and the results of the pathology report from my surgery. This truly is a roller coaster ride for sure and certainly one that I would like to get off of for awhile. Take care and I look forward to hearing from you when you're able. After my apt. on Mon. I will post on here what my surgeon has to tell me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good news. I'd hate to think that I've gone through all this suffering without good results.

Hugs and best wishes to you for Monday.

Lorraine 

Dear friends Jo and Lorraine.  Wishing you both all the very best for Monday. Look forward to hearing from you as soon as you are feeling like posting. Much love to you both xx

Hi Everyone, I'm back from my apt. with my lung surgeon and overall, the news is good, for now anyway. I'm told that she got all the cancer that was there, however, there are cancer cells in my lymph nodes and as what has happened this time, there is a good chance it will return again, either in my lung, or somewhere else. Taking chemo for me is not an option because it would have to be the same chemo they gave me when I had colorectal cancer five years ago; that almost killed me, so I can't tolerate it. Perhaps if I could tolerate this particular chemo, they could have given it to me two years ago when I had lung cancer then. Its' a waiting game. In any case, we deal the hand we're dealt I guess, so hopefully this gets me a few more years before it rears its' ugly head again. Now onward and upward to the next challenge - waiting for a date for bladder surgery. Surely they will give me time to fully recuperate from this lung surgery before they put me through that again. Here's hoping.

Guess its' time I change the title of this thread now that this crisis is past. I have to think of something a little bit creative, but I'm not feeling too creative right now. We shall see.

In any case, thanks to all of you for sending your best wishes and hugs. You have no idea how much it helps to know that people are rooting for me on the other side of the world. I say again, how grateful I am that I found this forum with so many kind and supportive people to converse with on this cancer journey that none of us would choose to be on for sure.

All the best to all of you and sending hugs your way as you follow your path.

Take care everyone.

Lorraine
