G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever. Small scrub python

Thank you all for your well wishes ... it's a little overwhelming actually as I didn't expect that sort of support. I've been posting a detailed account of what's happening to me in case others find themselves in a similar situation at some point. It's of course all new to me so I thought it might be of interest to others as well? I received a call this morning actually with the time & date of the "Mapping" process. I will receive my radiation appointment times as well when I go to that appointment so it's all moving along at good speed. I'll probably get someone to drive me to the first radiation appointment in case there's any immediate negative effects then I'll perhaps know better for future appointments what to expect. I'll keep y'all posted!

NOPE!

N.O.P.E. 🙏

NOPE!

NOPE for today!

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.

Haven't checked in for several months and this post was not something I wanted to see. Wishing you all the best in your treatment and recovery my friend. I work as a PA in a California hospital and I can tell you with extreme conviction that annual low dose CT scans are one of the most important things you can do to detect lung cancer at the earliest stages. That early detection, along with revolutionary advances in targeted treatment, have significantly improved outcomes in recent years. I hope QT members take your journey to heart and sign up for annual LDCT scans if they haven't already done so. I just had my 10th one. Thanks for sharing Reci. Best wishes with your treatment and healing process!

Gday Sorry I’m bush… means I’m not able to get a connection when I need I travelling 5 km from my bros place then stand on my roof racks on my truck to get a connection. Still here still NOPE

NOPE!!

Living proof that quitting works if you stick with it! Well done @Kdad!!

Congratulations!!🥳

Yeah, Thanks much @BKP for your input from inside in industry, so to speak. This is what I'm sensing as well that early detection is key and that treatment results then are more often than not very good and your words only confirm my thoughts! As you say, it's really critical for people like all of us who smoked for many years to get those low-dose CT Scans annually if possible because when cancer is in it's early stages, there's no symptoms at all so you will never feel it coming on like you would with a cold. By the time there are noticable symptoms, it will be much more difficult to treat and likely poorer treatment results.

NOPE!! For tonight and tomorrow. And NOPE for that nasty snake. I used to swim in the bayou's as a child with these bad ass snakes. Water Moccasin. When we had the floods from hurricanes I would catch these by the tail and swing them around so they couldn't bite me. My mother would yell, Stewart get rid of that snake. Had no fear? or just a dumb kid? At this age I think the later.🤪 .

NOPE to smoking and nope to that spider!

Wow Kdad You have cracked this You my friend have fought for your quit Well done 🐸

Thanks for the update @Reciprocity. It sounds like you have a good team and a smart game-plan. Everyone here on the Train is pulling for you, too. I agree with the suggestion about a driver for your last couple of sessions. When I had radiation, my fatigue was definitely cumulative, and I had to ease up on my schedule for a while. They may ask you to hold your breath for periods of time during treatments. It may help to casually practice that a bit beforehand. I found a couple of well-paced songs to replay in my mind, and that helped a lot. Weirdly, The Wellerman sea chanty was the perfect tempo, LOL. You got this!!

Thanks Reci for sharing. I am sure like everyone here I think of you and this situation often. Sounds very positive that the treatment will do the trick. I hope the side effects go easy on you. Sounds like you are blessed with a wonderful family that will provide all the help and love that you could ask for. Let them smother you with care, you do deserve it. All the best. Stew.

NOPE for today!

A married man was having an affair with his secretary. One day they went to her place and made love all afternoon. Exhausted, they fell asleep and woke up at 8 PM. The man hurriedly dressed and told his lover to take his shoes outside and rub them in the grass and dirt. He put on his shoes and drove home. 'Where have you been?' his wife demanded. 'I can't lie to you,' he replied, 'I'm having an affair with my secretary. We had sex all afternoon.' She looked down at his shoes and said : 'You lying Bastard !You've been playing golf !!!!
