Some good news.

[dunnellon]

I have not posted about my progression for some time but wanted to share some good news. I had CyberKnife (basically SBRT) to remove a 2.2 cm adenocarcinoma from the right lung in Nov/Dec of 2020. It was found coincidentally when I had a PET for a spinal meningioma which was removed surgically in July of that year.

I had my latest PET yesterday and got the report today that everything looks stabilized, no change in the results since a couple years ago. The only change on the report was a fracture of the third rib on my right side. It seems when I took a tumble due to my sandal toe being caught in the groove of the zig zag pavers outside the market in December, I saved the bags of groceries I had in each hand, but the landing on my right bicep (I carried the bruise for months) cracked the rib!! I still am very happy about the report!😉 I have not worn those sandals to the market since December and now....I never will!

So, as the man said as he jumped from the 20th story window - "So far, so good!"🙂

Good to know that things are going well.😊😊

[dunnellon in reply to Alberta56]

Thank you! Maybe our black cats are good luck!👍

[Alberta56 in reply to dunnellon]

Mine was a lucky little cat, an adopted stray. I don't know if she brought luck, but she brought a lot of joy to us. xxx

[dunnellon in reply to Alberta56]

Ours came with 6 kittens in tow! We were lucky enough to find homes for the kittens, had her spayed and sent her on her way. That was 12 years ago. She never left and now has command of the house and a bedroom she calls hers! Clever kitties indeed!

[Blackbird8]

That's amazing news I'm so pleased for you and the recent results keep trucking 🚚 😍😍😍

[dunnellon]

Have a bottle of 2017 Francis Coppola Claret waiting to be opened and shared with Hubs tonight! Was going to drink it all myself if results were crappy!😁

[Patk1]

I'm happy4u that reports are good.oh dear! Saved the bags though lol ;-)x

[dunnellon in reply to Patk1]

Two young ladies came running over and asked if I was alright. I said, "Yes, mostly embarrassed!" Didn't start really hurting until the next day!

[Patk1 in reply to dunnellon]

Hope Yr OK.ive done it & feel so silly.i usually end up laughing.hope Yr not too bruisedxx

[dunnellon in reply to Patk1]

I'm fine now. The cracked rib doesn't hurt at all, must be a hairline fracture. The only bruise that's left is on my confidence!

[Izb1]

Great news that things are stable long may it continue x

[dunnellon in reply to Izb1]

Thank you! Fingers crossed, toes too😀 but not eyes - Mom said they'd stay that way!

[Izb1 in reply to dunnellon]

Ha! thats what my Mum said to x

[Shirazmataz]

good news, enjoy the claret with your hubby 🍷🍷

[dunnellon in reply to Shirazmataz]

Thank you! It was lovely!

[peege]

Great news dunnellon! Broken ribs are so painful & can lead to chest infections because you can breath deeply so take care and I hope the good news sticks 🙏

[leo60 in reply to peege]

I had exactly that! Breathing exercises were impossible and sure enough a week later bad chest infection, just to "rub salt into the wound" ! xx

[dunnellon in reply to peege]

I didn't know this one was cracked! It must be a hairline fracture. I had a broken sternum from an auto accident and I certainly knew it with every breath!

[leo60]

That is great news! I hope your rib is feeling better xx

[dunnellon in reply to leo60]

My pride hurt more than the rib!😂

[Handel]

Brilliant. Isn't it weird how things get picked up by accident! I had exactly the same as you - little cancerous nodule spotted via PET scan for something else and operated on with little cuts to the side and a robot doing all the work 😂.

My follow up 6 monthly PET scan showed the cancer has gone, nothing else showing but my heart is in trouble!!! Waiting for an appointment to sort that out 🙄.

Lots of love and hugs. Jan xxxx

[dunnellon in reply to Handel]

It is weird! I have a friend had an auto accident in Dec and found a cancerous nodule on her lung while running tests in the hospital. She's a retired nurse, never smoked, had no symptoms. Had a lobectomy, robotic, and now finds out lymph nodes were already affected. Auto accident probably saved her life. Best of luck with a cardiac consultation and sooner than later!

[Handel in reply to dunnellon]

Sorry for the late reply (went away to our son's for a couple of days and left all technology behind!!). Amazing how accidental finds can save lives. Wishing you all the best.

Love and hugs. Jan xxxx

[dunnellon in reply to Handel]

Thank you! Leaving your techie stuff alone for a few days sounds therapeutic! Like hitting a 'reset' button on your serenity.

[Handel in reply to dunnellon]

You're not wrong!!!! xxxxx

[watergazer]

great news x

[dunnellon in reply to watergazer]

Thank you! Had a pizza and claret celebration!

[Ergendl]

That's good news about the results of the latest PET scan. Yes, sandals can be so dangerous. Hope your cracked rib isn't causing you any problems.

[dunnellon in reply to Ergendl]

Yes! Those sandals are heading for the ash pit!

[Nicholatracy]

[dunnellon]

Thank you Nicholatracy! Have a great day!
