    May 2011. Officially confirmed, now have cancer in the gallbladder and liver.  Unknown if mets from the lung or a new primary. Apparently it is practically unheard of for mets to go to the gallbladder especially as the lung tumour is stable still.

    Surgically it can be removed but complicated by a lot of scarring to the lungs from treatment and infections so may not stand anaesthesia.  Chemo may provide a compromise…

  • Everything looking good so far

    Went for my first review appointment since the end of treatment.  Chest xray & blood tests, too early for a CT scan as the lungs will still be inflammed from the RT, but so far everything is looking good yay!!!!

    Off on my hollies on Friday in good heart and hoping that it continues to improve!

    So as not to bore you rigid, I will break up my journey with nsclc into what I hope is manageable chunks. But it could turn into War & Peace hahaha,

     We start with the journey up to the commencement of treatment.

    The story starts on 4 September 2009......

    During that day a very strange thing started to happen, I began to sound more and more like Marge Simpson with a sore throat lol.    Must be the onset of laryngitis…
