It's been a few months since I posted. How is everyone doing? I am still okay. I am happy to say I have been free of the cig addiction for months!! I can breathe better, and my fev1 has improved also. I guess I'm doing something right eh?

I hope you are all well. Hello to newbies!! I will be checking in again very soon!

Hi there!!

How are you? I hope you are hanging in there and doing great. Yes, the cigs are gone for good, and I feel so much better without those dang cravings.

Good to hear from you!! <3

I'm doing fine, not had any real problems apart from a cold over Christmas. I've tried to avoid crowds and stayed in during the cold weather and snow. Looking forward to the summer. Take care of yourself Phylis. x

Glad you are doing good and that you're off the cigs.

Hi my friend.

I have thought about you quite a few times. Hope you're well.

I am still having a bit of depression, but not like the first 2 months after diagnosis. I tell ya' it can be hard to digest all this. I am keeping busy, and that makes it easier.

I know I can't change any of it. So, I must trust in God and take it one day at a time. The song by Lauren Daigle on youtube... (not sure if that spelling is correct) Trust In You... makes me feel better also. She is from here in Louisiana. Great singer. Check it out.

Stay in touch..

Phyllis

I will check her out.

As for me..it looks like the cancer is back. There is a spot on my right lung that needs to be investigated. I am having an MRI of my brain next Friday 3/23, and a PET scan on that following Monday. (I saw the CT scan, it looks like it has "fingers").

Keep in touch, let me know how you are doing.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. The main thing is that they have caught it early .. right? Please let me know what the MRI and the scan shows. I'll pray for you. Stay strong. 👐👐
