Just woke up today not feeling the best.. all the waiting is making me feel on edge and scared all the time. And to top it all off I feel stupid for feeling this way.. I had my PET scan yesterday and that's got me on edge.. I just keep talking in different places on here hoping to get it all out and feel better but today it doesnt seem to be helping.. I'm scared I want to run away , scream holler I dont know I just want to feel alittle better about everything.
I had my pet scan results yesterday. Clear. Which is wonderful. I have my
pre assessment ( pre op) on 25th July ,and am hoping for surgery not long
after that. My Cancer is benign but obviously they want to remove it in
case that changes. Little blighter ! It was an Almond Magnum last night.
My throat gets very dry,not sore,so I drink lots of water etc.
Hey KT, such wonderful news as that all sounds great, such a relief to have some positive news. Did I say I'd had my results on Weds too and they cut the cancer out with clear margins and clear lymph nodes....so just need radiotherapy and hormone therapy. Being tested to see if the cancer is likely to return which would mean chemo, but keeping everything crossed. Glad you are feeling brighter, it is just so scary isn't it. Glad you celebrated with a magnum, not sure if I could have stopped at one. So pleased for you xxx
That's good news for both you.. keeping yall in my thoughts.. I'm still waiting on edge feeling the docs forgot about me..makes me so nervous Dungarees girl @kt enjoy the magnums
Hey frazzled, how long since you heard anything? I'm sure that you haven't even forgotten, just the waiting makes it feel that way. Hope you're doing ok, message if you need a chat... sending love and hugs for now xxx
My situation is really weird now. Having been told “ no , you don’t have Lung Cancer “on 16th May,
then yes you do on 6th June, then 14th July the result of my Pet Scan is clear ,so the tumour is benign.
I still need major Lung Surgery as half of my lung will be removed plus extra tissue above the tumour
and a section of my bronchi will be removed and a “ sleeve” inserted. My “ visitor” needs to go because
it could still turn nasty as it were. I am still permanently shattered and coughing with laboured breathing
because part of my Lung has collapsed. The result is so much better than it could have been ,so I have
an awful lot to be grateful for.
Hoping that you are doing well now and much better than you were.Presumably you have had your pet scan result and it is good news.
Take care
Dungarees girl just waiting I go for MRI on my head Tuesday and an appointment to talk about the keyhole surgery they need to do to finish the biopsy. Kt sounds really good. I hope mines as easy. I only have laboured breathing dont cough to much anymore sense I put the ciggs down a couple weeks back. Just nervous all the time.. dont seem to know what to do with myself..
Please God that you won’t need chemotherapy. The one thing that everyone dreads. For me, it would have been the feeling so crap afterwards. Hair grows back and the wigs are great now apparently,but they make you itch like mad. Your support is much appreciated . When I was told that it was benign , he was still talking about Lung “NETS” ( neuro endocrine tumours),no wonder we get confused. I just want to get some energy back.
I have never smoked ,but I come from a family of asthmatics,so perhaps there is an inherited weakness there.Everything is an effort isn’t it. I washed my hair a few minutes ago and was puffing and panting afterwards. Mad. At least I can’t think of looking for a job until mid November ish. Would much rather do Voluntary Work which I love,just need to get some pennies from somewhere.
Look after yourself.
Yeah I got a letter yesterday (a copy of what they sent my gp and honestly I understand nothing about it. Except basically know nothing yet cause they couldnt finish biopsy. Says something about upper left lung and collapse of it.. I dont understand any of it they dont know stage or if its benign or not. The pet scan showed just glowing in my upper left lung so apparently that was a good thing.. I cough a bit depends on what I'm doing or if it is hot out I struggle then. I feel fit in myself except the dang shortness of breath and I desperately want a cigarette. It gives me hope if they can remove yours maybe they can mine as it's way up top of my lung.. hope u have a good day.. sending lots of hugs
