jang Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 But my doctor seems to think my cancer may be back. After 4 years of being cancer free, he is seeing an area on the left lung (where I had my lobectomy four years ago) and also many tiny areas on the right lung. This is not at all what I wanted to hear, but I am trying to stay as positive as I can. I have a biopsy (of the spot on the left lung) on Thursday and will get the results next Tuesday. If the spot is cancer, they will start chemo immediately. You guys have all been such great support for me in the past, and although I'm not on the board as much as I'd like to be, I'm sure I can count on you all for the support I may need in the future. Please pray for me over the next week. I'd love to hear the doctor say that it is just inflamation, give me an antibotic, and go on with my life. But I have to come to terms with the idea that it may be cancer again. Of course, I will let you know as soon as I find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yes, Jan, the folks on this board are ALWAYS here for those who need us! I'm sorry you had tho hear the words those of us lucky enough to travel with NED for a time fear. You've been around here long enough to know that it does no good to put the cart before the horse (Don Wood) so let's try not to do that. So.....now time for us to step back, lift up our heads, and move forward with determination to deal with what MAY be coming. We are all here to do it with you. In fact, I'm only in PA ~ we're neighbors ~ and I travel to NIH often. Are you anywhere near there? We'll have to talk and see about meeting up ~ IF that's something you think may be helpful. I'm just sorry - that's all. Oh, of course thoughts and prayers for you! Kasey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
