Showing Original Post only (View all)I'm back! [View all]
My scans are good. Things are stable. The tumor is probably dead tissue, sitting in the bottom of my left lung. We caught it early. I don't have to go back for another six months.
Also, there is a new doc in the practice. The oncologist will refer me to him. I have osteoporosis, and I get compression fractures often. This doc will be able to do that minimally invasive procedure where they insert a cement like filling so that the compression fractures stop. I may be able to lift things again, and the pain from this will be over.
I toldya that I would fight back. It is exhausting both mentally and physically, but I am doing it. I hope everyone here is doing the same thing!
