Geri Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 10 years ago I had the most timely dose of pneumonia, because of this small cell lung cancer was discovered on the first xray and the tests began. I won't bore you with those details -- you all are familar with them! The night before Thanksgiving I was sent home with appointments set for the next week and a boat load of very strong drugs to ease the pain. So began my journey through the haze and exhaustion, but a PET scan 6 months later was NED, and now it's 10 years later and lung cancer seems so long ago. Not so long as to be forgotten but way back in my memories. My wish is for every one of us to have hope and maybe this will be your inspiration.
