Hi ,Since my recent dramas ,Stereotactic radiotherapy is heading my way high dose one hit .Obviously this is not brilliant so early after curative intent initial surgery and adjuvant chemo in In 2015 but some relief that I was treated promptly by my NHS in Plymouth and the ball is rolling .I am told this is curative intent again but lung cancer is more random than most so no guarantees .I am winging on steroids and feel like a teenager haven't had this much energy since a girl ,driving everyone crazy trying to rest and stay I bed at 3am but there is always so much to do ....why.
I am hopeful I look at team inspire people in the USA get these brain tumours blasted as they occur and carry on ,so maybe that will be me, scared yes but no options at least not more lung surgery or Chemo at this time so that's good a.Still fighting Diane .
