1st August D- day , Consultation with the lung specialist nurse to find out if the cancer has spread also to discuss possible treatment

[hollyboo]

Hi my friends

Well they have all they need

2 CT SCANS TISSUE SAMPLES confirming ADENOCARCINOMA AND RESULTS OF A PET SCAN

The team of specialist are discussing my case at the BRI hospital tomorrow

I have let them know i will be visiting my son he,s wife and my only granddaughter next week who live in Derby,they have just moved in to their new house this week , and that i will be back in Bristol the end of next , hence the delay on finding out what my best options are or not ?

Although i am so eager to see them and their new home im not counting down the days because i have to face what comes after , if that makes sense

If the cancer has not spread , one tumour measures 23mm on top of right lung I think this small ?

i have another spot on my left lung which they were not able to take a biopsy from which measures 10mm

So i just don,t know i,ll just have wait we,re good at the old waiting game ( not !! )

Thinking good thoughts for you. Enjoy your time with your family and try not to worry...

[hollyboo]

i,m not brave if i could just run away from all this i would

when i was a little girl i used to say to myself while lying in my bed in the darkness " please god don,t let the birdies sing " over and over because i hated school the sound of birds chirpping ment it wouldn,t be long before i would have to get up to go to school , and i find i,m saying the same words over and over 59 years later the nights before hospital visits

So know i,m not brave i,m that scarred little girl curled up in a ball praying to god "please please don,t let the birdies sing "

I don't think anyone is brave in a situation such as yours. I think even those that come across as being brave have a scared little person inside, so you are completely justified feeling the way you do. I will pray the results you are waiting for come quickly and are the best you could hope for.

[hollyboo in reply to jackdup]

THANK YOU I HOPE SO TOO

oh holly Boo! how horrible for you. maybe your doctor could prescribe some anti-anxiety med to help you through this waiting period. my heart goes out to you.

I know it's easier said than done, but please try to put all the "what if" things out of your mind and go visit your son and his family and have a great time. Life will resume when you get home and you will hopefully get all the answers you need to decide your next steps. Gentle hugs from me to you!

All the best for August 1st.
