Hi Everyone, Had my scan results today. All clear. The nodule discovered on my lung three months ago hasn't grown. Further review in three months, which is normal procedure.and my oncologist isn't concerned. Happy Days
I think that one of the most underestimated aspects of us coming to these forums because of a cancer diagnosis either for ourselves or one of our family or friends is the mental health. I know mine suffered an incredible blow whose effects i will really...
