My Results after Struggling to Get on Site

It has taken me hours to get on this new site, I nearly gave up.

My results wern't good, I have a tumour in the bottom of my right lung and a big swollen lymph gland in the middle of my chest.To top it off, the registrar did not get a big enough sample out of my lung to identify the type of cancer it is, so I have got to have another bronchoscopy, the consultant said he would do it this time as I had a bad time with the 1st .I have then got to go to Plymouth for a PET scan which apparantly will make all the cancer cells in my body glow.Lol!That puts a new meaning to the words " light up my life".Well, must go now, feel numb, but thank you all for your support.xxxxxGene

Thank you for big hugs SandraxxxGene

I am sorry you did not get good results and it seems that although you have to have another bronchoscopy, that your consultant is now there to give you the best of care. A friends partner is going through something similar, and has just started treatment by tablet to shrink the tumors he has, and from what I am hearing from him there are a lot of new and promising treatments out there now. Try not to worry too much

Hi Gene I have to admire the way you've taken the news I would be climbing the wall !

I reckon that shows a strength of character few posses, if anybody can fight this thing I'd put my money on you. It's a new site as you know so even I it's a bit of a trial keep in touch and let us know how things are for you.

All the very best,

Chris
