Waiting for results is always a nerve wracking experience. I’m sure when you get them , they will explain all your questions In my Thoughts P ❤️

As @Cbdave and others have mentioned as well, I'm lucky to have had this caught in it's very early stages which gives me the best chance possible to beat it. A bunch of things more or less fell into place to allow that to happen ... it's wasn't good planning on my part other than I have been getting yearly CT Scans of my lungs ever since they were free of charge for me. I'm feeling pretty good about the chances of this particular cancerous nodule being fried by the radiation but will have to wait 3 months or so to be sure. That kind of pisses me off but that's the way it is so ... I think what my overall concern going forward is will I get more nodules appearing on my future CT Scans? Is it the kind of thing where once you have one, it's a signal that others may be on the way as well? Then again, maybe I'm just over thinking this. Hard not to I suppose 🤔

NOPE!

I'm sorry the fatigue is hitting you @Reciprocity and your discussion with the Oncology doctor was disappointing. I am glad you have just one more treatment to get through on Monday and I hope it goes better than the last one! 🙏🏻 You've got this! 💪🏻

NOPE! 💫

Gday Reci Arnt Docs grand. Don’t mention the side effects do they! Not until they appear then they deal with them. We are all different. So the effects are different I suppose. Survived a couple of cancers now. The secound was a skin cancer that was surgically removed then moped up with radiation. Moped up… sounds pretty easy! Will not give you the details but like you experience the radiation was shot from different direction to a centre point. The centre point was the cancer. Damaged cancer cells that were weak anyway and the rads did them in. The good cells received lots less rads and were able to grow back from the damage. Takes time. And truely just give it time. Secound thing is the docs don’t use that four letter starting with C. You know the one …..CURE. You’ll get the word …. Slowly …. You’re now NED. Don’t let spect a carrot either. Your ….No Evidence of Disease. Then if your a really good patient you can progress to….. In Remission! I asked my GP if I could come of the 6 monthly tests for the first cancer. It’s 10 years now surely! He said no you have prove you don’t get the cancer back by dying of something else first! Really……. Yes this conversation did take place. My plan is to outlive him. game on! Reci. The worst is over. I’m so glad you’ve been found and treated early. Lung cancer has such a high death rate cause it’s basically to hard to treat once you have symptoms.

The desktop and mobiles versions are mostly completed. The tablet/iPad version will be next.

This song was based on an actual murder that occured in a bar in St. Louis on Christmas night 1895. Two men by the names of Lee Shelton (nick name Stag Lee) and William (Billy) Lyons were drinking tohgether and got into a heated arguement. The arguement got physical when Billy Lyons stole a brand new Stetson hat off Shelton's head! Lee Shelton pulled out a gun and shot Billy then left the bar. Billy Lyons died the next morning from his injuries and 'Stag Lee' Shelton was arrested and charged with murder for which he spent 25 years in prison.

And have to wait again Reci. At least the treatments will be done and you made it through unscathed.

Nope!

Had my 6th radiartion session today. Only 1 left next Monday. No terrible effects so far tonight, although I still feel a little dozier than normal from session 5. I was pretty disappointed though with my meeting with the Oncology Doc after my session today. I thought he would give me some sort of indication on how things were going but Nope! He wasn't willing to say anything basically when I asked him how things were looking. He simply said that after the radiation treatments stop, the radiation keeps working in your body for up to 3 months afterward so he will schedule a CT Scan for around 3 months from now and then we will have a telephone meting to reviw the results of what he sees on that CT Scan. He did say that he hopes to see a blackened nodule with a bit of lung tissue scarring around it. ie: he would consider that a successful killing of the cancerous tissue. He also warned me that at some point in that 3 month period I may develope a persistant cough and if that happens I should call him (his office) and he will perscribe a 10 day regime of Prednisone that should take care of that. Great! Something else to watch out for 🙄 I asked him how I would know it wasn't just a cold due to the changing seasons as that can be a real issue going into autumn. He said ..."You'll know!" Oh my, that sounds ominous😶 I'll just hope I don't have to find out!
