Sounds good! I did have a lung resection at the beginning of January 2021 and there is a tiny spot in another part of my lung that was noticed in May 2021. It's growing so slowly that we decided to sit and wait. This will be the first time I don't have to come back for six months. This time I feel confident enough to be willing to wait that long between appointments. My idea is to live every day to the fullest, get things done while I have the energy to do them so if this darn cancer comes back, I won't be fretting about all the things I really needed to get done, but wasted my time instead. At least one thing about cancer is that we truly know not to take each day for granted, we say the things to people that are important to communicate, and to not sweat the small stuff. For those reminders I'm grateful. Plus I get to hang out on my porch swing with all you interesting people. It's nice not to sit alone.

Hello @mngardenaddict

It was good to read your post and see what a good attitude you have developed as a result of these serious health issues.

I appreciate your mentioning that you no longer take a day for granted and that you communicate things to people that are important.

You mention that this is slow-growing cancer. Do you know the name of it?

I love word pictures and the one I really like is that you are glad that you "get to hang out" on your porch swing with all of the interesting people on Connect. You are right when you say, "It's nice not to sit alone."
