It has been literally months since I last posted in this thread. I had surgery this past week to remove the tumor from my lung... Fingers crossed they don't find anymore.

I realize it has been some time since I checked in... I'm still waiting for the Doctors to tell me whats next. It has spread to my lungs and apparently now there is a new spot in my lymph nodes in the middle of chest.. They may or may not try to remove these with surgery but it looks like regardless there is more…

Hello again... It's been a while. I got through the chemo, even returned to work and now I just found out there is another tumor... this time on my lungs. It's small (6mm) and hopefully operable but I still feel like I have been kicked in the guts... And again we wait.

March 25th, 2015 Well my CT scan showed some spots on my lungs.. My Oncologist tells me they are "atypical of cancer" but he wants to investigate further so I now have a PET Scan scheduled for April 8th. So the wait continues... The good news is I am finally done chemo and feel myself getting stronger everyday. I gained a…

Hi Lorna!! I hope things are looking up for you. I have spent the last year battling colon cancer so I can somewhat relate.. If your looking for support please feel free to friend me Cheers, Alison

Wow.. It's been awhile since I checked in. Today is day 2 of round 7... Only 1 more round to go and then my CT Scan on March 13th... I don't want to get ahead of myself but there may actually be an end in sight. Chemo sucks, there is no doubt about that but it is manageable.. Basically I have a bad week, followed by a good…

Today was round 1, day 1.. I'm doing AOK!! I got this!!!

Today was round 1, day 1.. I am sooo glad I opted for the port!!!

Nov 11th, 2014 I am about to start my post op chemo regimen and the Oncologist gave me the choice between GICAPOX which involves cycles of IV treatment for 1 day, Capeitabine pills for 14 days and then a week of rest or GIAJFFOX which involves 48 hours of chemo treatment through a port administered in cycles every two…

Oct 9th, 2014 I got the pathology report today.. Good news.. All the tissue surrounding the tumor was healthy so it looks like they got it all.. Not as good news.. They found cancer in 2 out of 7 lymph nodes that were removed and tested so it looks like another round of chemo... I am doing okay all in all. Just gotta keep…

Oct 1st, 2014 Home sweet home!!! I got sprung from the hospital yesterday. They sent me home with a lot of home care instructions including a wound suction cup still hanging out my *kitten*.... But I am home! Healing time :heart:
