Another new chapter. (Meerkat)

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

  • Hi Jo, I've not been on here for a few weeks but purposely looked you up to see how you are doing and was upset to read your latest post about the lung issue. I'm so sorry you've had this news but I'm stunned at how well you cope and always regain your positive spirit. I think we all need time for a little self pity and tears to get it out of our system. Sounds like you have done that for now, but we are all here to listen and support you. I hope the wooden sign project is coming along nicely, a good distraction no doubt and also a date in the diary to look towards. Speak soon Jo and sending you hugs, Nicola xx

  • Hi Nicola, 

    So sorry I've not replied sooner, but only just seen your lovely message. As I said to Hope, I seem to have picked myself up after my initial response to the news - and being back at work certainly keeps the old grey matter busy (not leaving much brain space for morose thoughts!) 

    I've been reading your thread too, to see what you're up to - back at work too I believe! And managing to put  some weight on! 

    Well, I'm going to attempt to post this as once again, I'm having problems with the keypad (not sure if it's me or a forum glitch!) 

    Thank you for thinking of me, Nicola. Take care, hugs, Jo xx
