This has been a long month, I have got a heck of a cold, coughing, spent a day in the hospital, took the medicine and still have this bad cold. They did a cat scan, my cancer's have grown some. My right lung has one "cancer" fairly close to my (arota). Will see my oncologist on May 3rd. And I had to have my eyes tested, New glasses, will pick them up on Tuesday. My have to see a doctor in "urgent care". Some times it seems as though every thing happens at once. Very depressed today. Had my birthday last Sunday(84) and today is my "baby daughter turned 60. Life goes on! (shortshot80)

Hi Nancy, I'm sorry to hear that you've had a tough month. Happy belated birthday to you and happy birthday to your 60-year young baby girl today. Will you be celebrating together today?

No, she lives about 80 miles away. She was here yesterday, so visited a little. Her two daughters had her leave the house so
they could decorate the place for her party last night. I'm sure that lots of her friends were there. We could have gone, but it is a long
ride for my husband of 66 years. Really me too. Most any rides of any miles require a night at a motel. I have been sick with a cold or something for the past three weeks, I did not even celebrate my birthday. (84) I did spend one day in the hospital, with all kinds of tests and cat scan. So I even received a copy of the results of the cat scan. Wasn't very good, showed some growth of both cancers and some kidney problems too. Hopefully better days ahead! (shortshot80) Nancy

Anxiety kicking in of course., The last couple scan were good .. I do come on this site from time to time just haven't posted..thank you for thinking of me. I'll try to update more than I have
Take care all. Merilee

Hi Marilee: So great to hear from you ! I think of you so often. I understand your anexity, because I have felt the same. The good news is education with research is advancing quickly in thorasic and pulmonary medicine. You and I are surviving and both doing good, and isn't that is amazing ? I has been 9 years and 6 mints (but who's counting;-)
since my lung cancer surgery. With each 6 month check up I become less and less anxious about my CT's. I love sharing stories as we Connect and find understanding about this amazing journey of Saving Lungs & Lives!
What activities have you been doing?
Let's stay connected! Don't stay away quiet so long, ok? please?
big hug,

So good to hear from you, @merilee. Thanks for popping back in. I'm glad to hear that your staying connected and reading the conversations. Those darn scans. You gotta love and hate 'em. Of course, you can't help but be anxious about it. But you also know that you'd rather find out than not. I'll be thinking of you. Do let us know how it goes. Or post before if you need distraction. I'm sure Linda and I can find some good jokes to share or something silly 🙂
