hi there everyone - well tomorrow i get the results from all my tests - i was diagnoised with lung cancer july 2008 and had the top left lobe removed - i was told that all the margins were clear and i needed no further treatment - fantastic - but what a rollercoaster - from being told i had cancer and then being told it had gone was a matter of weeks - any way - in may/june i began with pains in my upper chest area and shoulder - it was extremly painful and no matter what the doctors gave me for the pain it didn't work - i did however manage to get to australia to visit my son for the summer holidays with my twelve year old - i was determind that i was going to get there because i had had to cancell my trip in 2008 two weeks before i was due to fly out - when i returned after having the most fantastic time ever i saw my cancer specialist and she said that she wasn't happy with my xrays and wanted to do more tests - i have had a full body scan - pet scan and brain scan - when i saw her two weeks ago she seemed to think that they might be able to offer me some treatment depending on the results - so fingers crossed - tomorrow seems to have taken a long time to gget here - so i am hoping that i can be given some treatment and begin to fight this bloody thing again - will keep you all posted on what is happening - take care - karen - xoxo
