Just 1 cycle left now (what should happen next?) Looking forward to No more stool softeners & sena lol Chemo nurse wants to put me in a cu bard to show of to other patient's

Can I see my own scans by email?

My 1st lung doctor let me glimpse at my x-ray to see my tumour (interesting pic of myself) During my bronc if I turned my head and strained my eye’s up I could glimpsed the camera pictures (interesting) The surgeon let me see my pet scan (a good pic of the enemy) And a glimpse of the after surgery x-ray (told picture perfect) I would like to have them on my pc to look at and ponder (is that strange?)

1st chemo went well (hopefully) hangover of the year award

1st Chemo went well, I feel like I have the biggest hangover ever. I must be one of the lucky ones or Dumb as a dinosaur. I wonder what the cumulative effects over the next 12 weeks may be???

Hi all Just to let you know my story so far. I had the bottom left of my lung taken away (lobectomy a squamous carcinoma) apparently in the lining of the lung 9cm big. The op nearly 5 weeks ago now went well they took out thee lymph nodes to be safe. I start my chemo (Cisplatin &vinorelbine) 2nd September 08 don’t know what to expect side effect wise so that worries me. After the op I felt like I had been kicked around a football field, I feel a lot better now but still sore (thank god or science for pain killers) I’ve had my slippers on for over a month and am board silly but it is better than being dead, as I was told by the consultant it could have burst at any time and take me with it (I always thought they were solid like fat ) anyway I nick named it my evil twin and Its now in a jar somewhere I was only diagnosed in June 08 so its all been a rollercoaster ride with more to come me thinks. No one has told me if I am clear yet all they say is that they took out all visible signs of the cancer and the chemo is to mop up any seeding. (That worries me the word seeding). And I should still be here in five years. Is this just part of the jargon?
