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
Good morning Meerkat and although so new that I am very fresh here!!! I recognise your avatar and we either shared time on SZ ,FPF or FF...............your avatar stands out as I have a soft spot for meerkats!!!
On a more serious note,as yet i have only started reading your account of your cancer journey and I am quite overwhelmed that someone whom seems to have had rather a lot of cancer issues to deal with ,in amid what might be gloom and doom,your bright,positive spirit shines through.
It gives such an uplifting and powerful message to those who maybe newcomers to Cancer, but nevertheless, find it all so frightening and overwhelming.
You certainly have a lot to deal with and as I said,I have only but begun to read your story.
May I wish you continued strength and positivity, meeting each and every one of those many blips with a lovely attitude and fighting spirit......................but never be too harsh on yourself.............you are allowed the occasional moan or tiresome day!!
Sending copious blessings.
A newbie to the site but hoping to make my mark over a period of time.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I've just read your profile - wow! You've been through so much yourself. I'm very impressed and humbled by your obvious organisational skills (and tenacity) in fascilitating all the services you mention in your profile. There is a Cancer Care centre near me (I haven't been there yet) but organisations like this are a lifeline to so many!
I'm sure your input on the forum will be invaluable to many and you certainly won't be a 'newbie' for long :)
I'll be watching out for your posts - thanks again for the lovely message.

Enough that I have managed to touch base!! I am waddling around here like a pregnant duck!!! and certainly not yet getting the hang of the place, but like all things new it takes time!!
I think I might take a few days to learn the ropes so will diligently read up so that I will know where best I can fit in................meanwhile wishing you all the luck in the world in getting in coping as you do...........talk about humbling ............your story had me in tears, but fret not ..........not for long.......
Anyway I shall be around................ but as I said a period of learning I think..... before embarking on further adventures.
