Hello and thanks for adding me to the forum.
I’m a 69 lady living in Essex with numerous pets. I have adult kids and three glorious little grandsons. Feeling great but all isn’t what it seems.
In nov 2023 I was diagnosed with a suspicious ‘nodule’ having been included in the lung screening programme and meeting the criteria. It was later confirmed as NSCLC after a bronchoscopic biopsy done at Barts Hospital London.
In February 2024 I had a right VATS upper lobe removal and lower lobe wedge done at the Essex Cardiothoracic Centre in Basildon. .
The following September I had another CT scan that showed possible infection and had a bronchoscopy with a flush that showed EColi - I was treated with a four week course of Amoxicillin.
On March 29th I had a follow up CT and after a consultation yesterday April 8th it seems cancer has returned. So the new plan is lung function test next Tuesday followed with a PET scan and biopsy, dates to be given then lower lobe VATS - again at the Cardiothoracic Cetre.
So that me folks - isn’t cancer a tremendous bore?
Wishing all cancer warriors well and treatments successful.
