Good morning Dede- Change is always good, except when it isn't. This is the case with cancer nodules for sure. I'm not sure if you saw my post but I also had a "Change". The lesion in my upper right lung grew. I think that over a certain size any change is considered trouble. My teleconference with my surgeon and oncologist is next Tuesday so I will know more then.

I'm renovating my upstairs so I have so much to do right now I'm not dwelling on it as much as I would be. Plus as a mentor for Connect, my focus isn't as much on myself. It certainly is nice to have company here. Have you all seen met the members of the multifocal adenocarcinoma group? @sakota9 (Joan); @linda10; @stanleykent; @jamineibs

My history, which I really should update started back 24 years ago. I had a very fast-growing adenocarcinoma. That was removed and then 10 years later my first three multifocal journeys began. I've had many come and go, some scared me, others were just blips. But I guess this one means business.

I've known my team of doctors for a very long time and we have a very open and honest rapport. My oncologist called dealing with these pesky things a "whack a mole."

What kind of relationship do you have with your team of doctors?

Let's keep in touch Merry.....I have a wonderful (ahd hansome) local oncologist, pulmonologist and a fantastic pulmonology team at Moffitt who did a LLL back in 2016. I have been stable for almst 6 years taking targeted medication Xalkori (Crizinitib) 2x a day. I will go back to Moffitt if significant change of nodules from 6 weeks ago.

Merry, thank you for continuing to sharing summaries of your lengthy history. I want you to know, your sharing shows hope is not wasted and give me some peace with the long term relationship I would rather not be in. I pray your new changes can be resolved quickly like the blips you’ve had in the past.
