How was your mental state after surgery?

The new version of Xanex is clonazepam which is slower and longer acting. So just half a pill is enough usually for me to fight off the tears. But scan time I have to take 2 because I have had so many scans the anxiety is ptsd levels. LOL.
They took out 2/3 of my right lung in 2000 at age 46 and then I had 7 weeks of concurrent chemo and radiation right after that. Everything was going along okay until 2021 they found a new spot in lower left lobe. We watched it grow to 2 cm, then used SBRT radiation which totally resolved it (it took about a year to slowly go away). Then I had a new spot SBRT'd on my right side in 2024. Now we are seeing another spot in lower left lobe again and trying to decide next step. Guess what? I have PET tomorrow so I will be taking the clonazepam tonight and tomorrow for sure.
You make me laugh about using it for public speaking. < 3 < 3 < 3

Hope you get your results quickly and a plan in place. That part of cancer has been hard for me -- the waiting for results and then the waiting for the next step(s). I had breast cancer in 2018 that does not seem to be connected to the lung cancer but no one has said so definitively. I'm hoping the lab results from the actual tumor will make that clear.
