Showing Original Post only (View all)Update on my cancer [View all]
I have a pulmonary appointment on Thursday, Sept. 15. There is a tumor in my lower left lobe of my lungs. She (my primary care doc) says it is large, 3.3 x 2.8 cm and it is cancer. Lower lobe tumors do not metastasize as often.
It has not spread into my back. They caught it in time. The treatment I am having is a broncospopy.
I will be getting treatment and I should be able to heal.
I have had one and one-half cigarettes since July 26th, and I am done smoking. I don't care how many cigarettes my husband brings home. That is over.
I am feeling good about things. I know I can beat this.
