Just got the report and it is good and a little bad. Progressive growth but slow on previous noted recurrence. Unfortunately the blighter has created another tumour in the right lung and a few new ones in the left. No sizes were given so will wait to receive a copy and do a little measuring myself.
I must be the only person who doesn't know what staging I have been throughout this journey. When I visit my oncologist next week I am going to try and find out what I was marked down as, if at all, after surgery in 04, before surgery in 09 and now. I would think now I am a T1 if that but it would be interesting to know about 09. I know when I look back at the photo's it looks a lot but that question remains could I have held back. When a surgeon tells you that maybe in 4 months you won't be around, and he is a good surgeon, you have to go with their knowledge and to be fair I did feel rotten at the time. Also UCLA told me the same in August and November, that without surgery I didn't really have long.
When you look back things don't look as bad as they were at the time. Like chemo I can't remember being as ill with it, until I read what everyone else is going through, then the memories sometimes come back.
Well back doing my paperwork
I hope Lyn has better results !!! Come on Lyn you can do it.
I hope whoever else is waiting gets stable rather than slow.
