Hi Colleen- Thank you for the reminder! I am doing good. Actually started back working (from home) last Wednesday for 6 hours a day. Next week I will work, from home, 8 hours a day. My check ups went well. I had one for my lung the week after surgery and one for the breasts 2 weeks after surgery. Healing well, and pathology came back on lymph nodes- NO carcinoma! No carcinomas in breast either. My cancer was Adenocarcinoma acinar predominant (40%) with lepidic (30%), papillary
(15%), and micropapillary (15%) subtypes. Staged at pT1bN0. As it had not spread anywhere else I do not need any further treatments just to return every 6 months for a CT scan for the next 2 years and then down to 1 annually if all stays clear🤞. Only taking 50mg of Lyrica twice a day for now. Planning to end that pretty soon as well. The only way to explain how I feel is, I think the Implant removal has been more painful than the lung surgery! For the lung surgery, only a tender area in the front left rib area right below the breast area. (Separate incision for lung surgery not breast) where that incision is. I Still get the “double breath” every once in a while, but that’s ok. I have found that sometimes doing a big yawn is a little painful but sneezes are not as bad as I thought they were going to be! Still walking about a mile a day and relaxing a little more than I used to. I have realized that I don’t always NEED to be busy and doing things. It’s okay to sit and look out the window at the bunnies or flowers or birds, and just relax and enjoy. I’ll be zooming around soon.
Best to ALL!
Cindy
