So now might be a good time to share. My pesky lung cancer is back. I had a slice of my lung removed in February of this year. The slice took out the cancer. Then it was wait, get scans every few months and see if it returned. At the six month scan, something was there. Very small, two of them. Too small to be biopsied, wait another 3 months and get scanned again.
That scan was Dec 3 and the spots have grown. A lot. Now lots of tests, lung function and PET scans were ordered. Final result is more surgery, Jan 5th. More lung taken out. This time on the other side.
Until the surgery is performed and the stuff removed sent off to pathology we will not know.
Is this a small bit that was already there last time and not seen. This would make me still in stage 1.
OR
Is this a spread (metastisized) from before and if so I am then stage 4. If this is the case Chemo will follow
I am sure I will be fine. I am strong and still walking my dog daily. DR says I will possibly be on oxygen when released from the hospital for awhile

Crap!!!

Sue, I'm not sure what to say, but I want you to know I care. You've helped me greatly so anytime you need to talk I am here for you. I am only a PM away. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sending {{{BIG LOVING HUGS}}} and good vibes your way.

Oh wow...

Hmm,hard to come up with something to say.

Well you know that all of us here have your back,I'm not the prayer type of guy but lately that is what i have been doing at night in bed before i ''try'' to sleep.

I just send out my best wishes out there in hopes that someone is there to receive them,i just wish that my pops stays with me as long as possible...family is important and he is the only family i got left.

Friendship is also important so tonight right before my over thinking under achieving brain turns off i will include you in my '' best wishes'' send out to the universe and hoping that everything goes well.

Same as @ShowMeTwice I'm a pm away and if you ever need anything feel free to reach out.

Love you

Hey shinies, happy December. Been a while :]

@chanelvaps Group hug headed your way <3

It is so sad. We start out as basic acquaintances, become a friendly face (avatar), get to know one another a little, help each other, (the power of strangers helping strangers in awe-inspiring), and then a devastating thing happens to one and they are gone. Just gone. Unlike with a brother or sister or likewise, where you have a funeral to say goodbye, in this case, you simply have an avatar that says "goodbye". I had a similar thing with someone from long ago on the long-gone juice junkie thread. We counted on each other, we were there for each other. We knew about each other's families, problems, ups and downs. Then cancer hit, within months they were gone. Cold hard reality.

I think as humans we’re hardwired to need closure, whether it’s for happy (wedding kiss at the altar, walking the stage at graduation) or sad (funeral, signing the divorce papers). Something that seals the deal that our brain can accept as final. Without closure on sad events, hope tells us it’s just an illusion.

Prayers, Chanel. Lots and lots of heartfelt prayers, and hugs.

So sorry to read you have to through this Sue, hugs.

I tend to not fret if we don't see Opinionated for a while. She has taken a hiatus quite often over the years.

I'll second that....I'm not one for biases but I miss Eskie particularly....I hate not knowing what's happened to him

Kia Kaha (stay strong) I'm thinking of you

I wonder if this friend has a user name that starts with "A" and ends with "z".

Just buy it already.

Wasn't me, I'm still sitting on my fence post waiting on our ARiSE RTA Guinea Pigs

At least we know what's going on with Rob, as horrible as it is. Eskie simply vanished. I still hope he'll reappear just as suddenly someday.

Yesterday I thought of him. I was afraid to ask , because I was hit with sad news.
He was always friendly and helpful and I hope he pops in one day.
