Hi Sandy- It’s me, Cindy. Just want to be able to give some more words of encouragement. Today is my 7th day post surgery for my 2.4 cm nodule that was cancerous, believed to be adenocarcinoma. I feel great! No pain really, a twinge here and there and stiffness if I don’t get up and move and stretch. Yesterday I walked 1 1/2 miles with my husband. Spread over 2 separate walks. Inclines and declines as we live in a mountainous area. I do take the medications they gave me and starting to spread out some time wise and some I just take 1 a day instead of 4. My point is that I was so scared of everything at the beginning of this and thought I was going to be in horrible pain afterward. Almost like I was going to be laid up in bed for weeks. Didn’t happen! I have tried to think positive this entire time, even though I was scared, and I think that really helps you during and after. I just prayed and asked God to give my surgeons the steady hands and clear minds to get me through the surgeries. Prayers Answered! Keep your head up and remain positive. Just picture yourself walking around afterward.
Go Bless you!
