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
I was super touched by your reply to my "I am scared" message, and now realise like many here we are all struggling, all I can do is send you a big hug just like you sent me one Love Simon
I am sorry I have not been around recently. Have had a bit of a rollercoaster experience of life which rather took over for a while. Nothing to do with illness. If you are up to it would love to catch up with you in private if I can find your email address and you are up to it.
April was a bit busy for me as I decided to celebrate the fact that I reached 60 so had a lunch party in one of the local pubs for family and local friends and husband took me away for a couple of days beforehand to one of our favourite hotels. Just managed to finish my thank you letters this morning.
Just seen your post to Jo (think of you all often and hope all is well with you both just now). Just wanted to welcome you to the 60's club (that was me last year!) and glad you were able to celebrate. Sending best wishes and hope all is well with you and the family. Best regards Jules x
Annabel, I've emailed you and Jules I really wish private messaging was available.
My latest news isn't too groovy! I've a recurrent tumour in my bowel, and sadly, treatment options are limited. I'm meeting the oncologist next week to explore chemo options, but I was intolerant to chemo last time, so I'm not sure what we will discuss and Surgery isn't an option due to the tumour position in my pelvis
Think I'm in denial about it all! Especially as I look and feel fine! I've asked 'the question' but the consultant quoted global figures as he felt that 'personal' timescales are impossible to predict!
Meanwhile, I'm continuing to work as I welcome the routine and 'normality' of it!
Sorry to bear bad news - really miss the PM facility! (Hence the 'low profile' just lately!)
Thanks for responding Jo. Can appreciate you would rather PM(of course the newbies who are reading this must think we are all barmy to keep harping on about it not being available but for those who used it on the old site its a much missed facility) and thoroughly respect your privacy when you having to come to terms with so much. As always my thoughts are with you and the family and its good that you can keep working at present as I know how it helps to keep occupied. All the very best with your next appointment. Virtual hugs are small consolation but sent anyway my forum buddy. Jules x
