Cancer free

[1968]

Well I met my consultant on Tuesday with my wife and we went through the procedure.

I couldn't get biopsies as the lung would bust plus it would take a while for the results.

My surgeon had stated instead of taking away a third of the lung he gave me a chance, he had a controlled frozen pathogens in the operation room while I was under, he removes 2 segments containing the tumers and tested them there and then, they were found to be benine non cancerous.

What a fantastic end to 7 harsh weeks.

I had VATS surgery on Wednesday morning, up and walking Wednesday night-tubes-pipes and drains out this morning, I'm on the mend 😢 very emitional happy ending.

Fantastic news and big relief im sure. Same for me only it took 6 months and loads of tests until i had half my lung removed and it turned out to be inflammation shadow, big relief for me i can tell you. I had air leak so was in hospital 2 weeks on suction, came home with flutter bag. Then got infection in my scar and im stll going to my surgery for dressings its a slow job as i had my op 20th august.... It is good to hear someone else has had good news and im happy for you that you havent had a problem.
