Max L Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Inez and I will never find the words to thank all of you for your absolute wonderful caring, support and prayers, except to say THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU. Just got home from the hospital and am blessed to have such a wonderful result as complete recovery. The fact that I was Stage 1A which is the earliest stage of Lung Cancer, and the fact that Dr Lam in Califorinia who is taking care of my prostate cancer suggested a chest xray since I smoked for many years and I listened to him is even more of an amazement. Had a great surgeon who took the upper left lobe of my lung along with the lymph nodes. Sent it all to lab with the result that I no longer need any further treatment. Inez and I are walking on cloud nine, when we think that only 5 or 6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with lung cancer and now it is gone. You have all had a hand in this recovery with your love and support and teaching us to be so positive, never giving up and above all being our own advocate. Inez and I wish you all a very happy and healthy holiday and again, THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Max, that is absolutely wonderful news! You are so fortunate that it was caught so soon. Now a bit of advice: wounds heal better "they" say, if you aren't also fighting pain. So, get that Rx for pain pills filled and take the pills. Hope the rest of your recovery is as good as things have gone so far. Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max L Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Thankyou you all again. Inez just went to drug store to fill the prescription for pain pills. I may be positive, but I am really positive that I am not a hero and that pain is not something I ever seem to enjoy. Stay positive, keep fighting, never give up, keep your records and be your own advocate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazy Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 WONDERFUL NEWS!!! I'm glad it went so well - and I may indeed pay a visit to your surgeon. She sounds wonderful!! I wanted to visit Banner the day of your surgery, but we've been with with that whopper bug going around & I certainly didn't want to bring THAT along... But I was with you two in spirit!! Glad you are home and healing well and ready to kick back & enjoy the holidays!! Onward & forward!!! Happy Hugs and Merry Christmas wishes to you & Inez! Yours in HOPE!

Max L Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Stacey, I wish the bug was not around as Inez and I would have loved to have met you. We can always meet somewhere for lunch. If the need for a surgeon does arise I cannot tell you how much we think of Dr Mican. She is rare in that she has both bedside manners and is extremely competent in her abilities. Was highly talked about by all the nurses that we met at the hospital. Still have a little discomfort but in general am feeling pretty well. We wish you a very happy and healthy New Year, and do think about lunch or if you are on this side of town give me a call..623 931 0418.

Maryanne Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi Max and Inez, What FANTASTIC news!!!! A blessing that your doctor had you take a chest xray and they caught that early. You are so lucky. I know you will have the best Christmas ever!!! Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
