The Cancer has reared its ugly head. It is in my right lung now (it was in the my left) it is in two lymph nodes in my right lung. One next to my esophagus. When it was in the left lung it was also in the lymph nodes. Seems it will just keep circulating through my lymph system.
The PET scan that I got two weeks ago showed no spreading to my bones. I have a brain MRI next month to make sure it has not spread to my brain. Lung cancer usually spreads to either bone or brain if left untreated.
I am still vaping the little disposables from OXVA. I worry about the juice in them. Is it safe? I have on occasion gone back to a tank on a mod with a drop in coil and my own homemade juice and OMGosh it is making me cough again just like it did when I started vaping. So I am left to wonder, which one is safer?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

I don’t check in here often, but I do think of you a lot. So sorry to hear this. About the coughing… aside from trying salts, you might think about your pg/vg ratio and how fresh yours are. I know they’re not supposed to go bad, but it might not hurt to buy some new ones and try tweaking your mix. I cannot go over 75% vg I also can’t use some flavors.

I love and miss you all but I haven’t been hanging around because I have so much stuff and you know how FOMO I get.

Plus I felt like a fraud; I started smoking a bit after my son died. Not heavy, but still…

Then in August I had a heart attack.

So I ended up getting a stent, and when the doc came to ICU to see how I was doing, he told me I had a 99% blockage “which is nowhere near 100%” and I was so out of it I just said ‘ohhh, okay’. Took me two days to get the joke.

He’d asked me before if I smoked led and I was honest, less than half a pack. He asked me again and I gave the same answer. So he looked at me sternly and said, No. How much do you smoke now? And I said, ‘Well I don’t anymore!’

I went cold turkey. I wish I could say it’s because I’m being proactive about my health, and that’s partially true, but also, I like that doctor, and he’s rather good looking and has a lovely accent. I’d probably do anything he asks.

    It's always good to see you. Don't ever feel like a fraud, I can't say how I'd react if I was in your boots. The yummy doctor treatment works brilliantly!
