Hello, just introducing myself, I am of Flemish-Belgian origin, emigrated 5 years ago to Phoenix, AZ, having met the Love of my Life here in 2006, and enjoying a LTT (Living Transatlantic Together) relationship of 11 years. Flying in from Brussels, went through airport cattlewalk fences of Immigration 35 times. Permanent resident now, Citizenship in the pipeline. In December, suspicious nodules and lesions were found in my right lung after an unexpected X-ray. Which turned out to be a “happy accident”, as I had no complaints at all. Further CT-scans, MRI and Biopsy revealed a 25 by 21 mm tumor in my middle right lung. Whilst my cancer was originally diagnosed as stage 2B, results of biopsy later changed to 3A, as a little lymph node was also discovered right next to the “mother tumor”, as my doctor described it. Testing just showed that, after 2 of my 3 rounds of chemo+immunotherapy, tumor already shrank to 18 by 10 mm. Cancerous Lymph node found resolved. No further metastasis since Biopsy. Pretty good news, I was blown away with happiness. Now awaiting surgery end April. Doctors said it would probably and most likely be “the end of my treatment”. Needless to say, I will have regular testing afterwards. Still need clearance from cardiology for surgery though. Having had 2 successful heart ablations 6 and 7 years ago, for irregular heartbeat’s atrial fibrillation, there is some concern. Hope approval will follow. Getting pretty nervous now about surgery, as removal of the middle lobe of my right lung could become a very likely scenario. Body 71 Years old but mind and soul is 16 years young. So, worried about length of healing process, recovery time, pain, most common side effects, etc…And best way to handle them…I am very happy about getting excellent info from my team of top-notch Doctors, but would like to learn from patient experiences as well…Any thoughts or advice are very welcome !!! Wally.
