While I don't have cancer yet I do have severe copd and its affiliated curses. Last biopsy was ok and the cysts in my lungs ,at least the BIG one was shrinking. Moved my cat scans back to every 6 months from 3 too. My supplemental oxygen is steadily increasing. Getting tired of hauling that damn oxygen bottle around lol. Worst part for me is knowing I did this to myself. At least yours isn't that. Hey, take all the solace you can.
Hoping for you!
