@medtech4 I think it is good as well at the moment but I know things change and thats what im concerned about. Especially having one at 5mm and then having two nodules in the upper lobes. That is a good sign of cancer from what I researched.
Thank you for telling me that non small cell is no longer a death sentence. I remember 20 years ago, once you had lung cancer, plan your goodbyes. Scary to say the least. Doesn't the EGFR mutation happen because of smoking? I thought i recall reading about that. Wow. Your mom was a good old lady, smoked 44 years and she passed away from the heart attack at 76? Wow, it seems like that drug Tagrisso does wonders. I am happy that it is working for you with minimal side effects. Happy for you buddy. Im sorry, sounds like you were a walking radiation toy for awhile. Hey, the metastasis gone away, right on my friend! Thats the best news of all! I bet you were devastated hearing the news on the skull and lymph node. Man, that is absolutely horrible. That is incredible, your oncologist has a patient who is 16 years in remission, wow! That is very encouraging! Great for him! I am happy that you were able to overcome those hiccups with the side effects and feeling better. Thank you for wishing me good news on the 18th but I seriously doubt it. Having 2 upper lobe nodules and smoking with a one time big exposure with abestos. I can almost guarantee a cancerous diagnosis. I seriously hope not but that is what my gut is telling me. I will definitely let you know. I have a phone number if you want to keep in contact my friend? Just let me know. Thank you sir.

Saw my oncologist today. PET scan results were good! Primary tumor has shrunk a little and metastases are gone! I'll be continuing the Tagrisso and lucky the ankle swelling is something I can deal with. My husband and I went away for a few days to north FL for a few days and I didn't think much about my illness, just to take the meds (I'm also on potassium as it was low at one point). (I am not a "sir", but a "ma'am"! No worries). So that was a much needed break! So, it was really good news and now I will see him every 2 months instead of every 3-4 weeks. That's really the best news I could hear right now. My husband wants to take another trip in mid-late October out west to the Utah parks via Vegas (we've been to Vegas once waaaay back in 2011. I'm not a drinker nor a big gambler but we saw some good shows!) They have busses that go to the Utah parks and the Grand Canyon and pick you up at the certain hotels. Still hoping that your visit on the 18th goes well.
