Hi forum friends, well, today's news was not as good as expected. The surgeon had removed the two nodules in my right lung and unfortunately, both were cancerous (we had hoped the non growing one was benign!) This news has meant that the non-growing nodule in my left lung, can no longer be assumed to be benign, so next steps are a CT scan and depending on the results, another lung op in the offing! :( (Trying to be positive, but struggling :( - sorry guys!) xx
Oh no! Dear me ! I am so worried for you now. What can we say? You are so kind and caring for everyone = and then you have to deal with this! Tell those doctors to get on with it! won't you Jo. We will be thinking and praying for you. We want good news for you = after all this time = only good news = you really deserve it. Your struggle is our struggle in every way dear brave friend
Hi Steven, thank you for your kind words. As I said to Jules, I feel less 'wobbly' today after yesterday's news! I spent the evening with some colleagues (they're keen for me to get back to work!) and it helped to lift my mood! So now it's another period of waiting (everyone on here knows what that's like) and depending on the scan results, surgery is likely to happen in early April. The surgeon has been so amenable and said it could be scheduled after my partner's daughter's wedding at the end of March! (Also gives my body time to recover from the last surgery.) In the meantime, I'm going to be kept busy with some woodwork ('wedding signpost ' to make!) I'll need to dredge up my woodworking skills from my school days (now that's quite a challenge! Haha!) Take care (I know you and Anne have lots to cope with at the moment.) love Jo xx
Sorry to hear your latest news but glad to see you seem to have bounced back today. I saddens me greatly that you and Max keep having these setbacks when you are such lovely people. It's one of the reasons why I commit myself to go to my cancer meetings.
I have had good news which I want to share with you, my PSA has only risen very slightly during the past six months. Up fron 0.72 to 0.89 so as for a man of my age it should be approx 3.5 to 4.5 it is still very low When I was at my cancer meeting on Monday I met my oncologist who was pleased to find out I was doing so well.
But enough about me. I am impressed you are going to make a wooden signpost. Well done you. When I have visited woodwork exhibitions in the past, it has been nice to see many items made by our lovely ladies. I have to say you ladies are more adventourous in the subjects you undertake whereas we men tend to stick to tried and tested subject matter.
Thinking of you and sending kind thoughts and best wishes your way, Brian
