richinsdakota Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hi all; Happy to report that my CT/MRIbrain/PET scans all came out clear...looks like N.E. D. for the moment. Breathing a little easier, if thats possible with one lung . Maybe the pneumonectomy will do the trick, (hopefully)...Remaining very cautious tho, aware of hi incidence of recurrence, hidden mets, etc. Still gotta do MRI of spine, precautionary, and adjuvant chemo, also precautionary. But feel relatively lucky so far, wish I could give you all a good news report too. Now waiting, walking, healing, keeping med. appts.....keeping pain of surgery under control, (well, some anyway). Trying to be patient with slow healing process. More later...good luck to us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinaresholz Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 That sure is good news, Rich. Hope you continue to improve. Look at the guy on this site that is a biciclyst. I guess he had his surgery over twenty years ago. Best of luck! Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
