Hi,
Six years on from Left Hemicolectomy (2018,) for Bowel Cancer, & Two cancerous Lung Nodules in 2019, (Lung Ablation,) my latest results of CT scans in Dec. '24 - Shows All clear - for both conditions.
I made no changes to my lifestyle. Just saying - After all the Ops. & procedures - the results can be positive.
Wishing everyone on this journey well x
This is amazing.
When I was diagnosed in November last year not knowing what I was facing reading about journeys like yours got me through so many very dark days. ️
Thank you, thank you for sharing your wonderful news. I’m especially grateful to hear about the lung part, because my bowel cancer was removed 4 months ago, but they’re investigating a lung node which is troubling me. To hear you had 2, had a lung ablation and are all-clear 6 years on is priceless.
Fabulous for you and you generosity in sharing this helps us too xxxxxx
Thank you so much. After my Op, I was told it was not necessary to have any chemo - However, one year later I had mets. to lung - two very small cancerous nodues in one lobe - (5.3mm & 3.5 mm,) then I had 6 mths of chemo - oral tabs, which shrunk them sufficiently to have Ablation.
Thanks for clarifying that. Could I ask which chemotherapy you had?
My Oncologist recommended the one with infusion & Tabs. However, I declined the infusion, as was wary about the possibility of Peripheral Neuropathy in Hands (I am an artist.) I told her that I just wanted the oral Capecitabine Tabs - which I tolerated for 5 months.
