Living with lung cancer - Introduce yourself & come say hi

@scoop2365- Scoop! Phew! What wonderful news. Relax and enjoy life!

Hello Everyone. Last week I found this group in search of friendly ears and good advise and knowledge. I posted about how my wife's doctor told her through a X-ray she was showing a 1.7 cm and 3 cm nodule. This created so much concern that I had nowhere to turn except for hear. For those of you who responded with encouraging words and advise ,I thank you all. Our prayers were herd. We had a Ct scan on a Sunday and then had a appointment 4 days later with the specialist. The news was good. He has told my wife that she has pneumonia. Wow what a relief. He proscribed her with what he called a 5 day pill and sent us on our way. He said the CT scan showed no signs of lung cancer. As a precaution we will be going back just to see if everything is 100% ok in the next 4 to 6 weeks. I want to thank you all, and wish you all the very best and my prayers will go out to every one of you. Merry Christmas and live to the fullest each and every day.
Regards
Peter

Congratulations! You’re an inspiration for so many.

Good morning @meka, @bluelagoon @scoop2365 @alamogal635- My CT scan came back as unchanged, everything is stable! There were no changes! Yipee! I will have another CT scan in 6 months! That will make 22 1/2 years! Wahoo!

Always good to hear from you when you do post, @meka. Great advice for @scoop2365
Meka, how are you doing?

The people on this site are wonderful, I don't post often enough for sure, but knowing the group is here has helped sustain me since my diagnosis almost exactly one year ago today!! If you are able to, my advice is get a second opinion!! Hugs

Hi @bluelagoon- Today is my CT scan. I know that you know how I feel. I am very happy that your CT scan went well. Lots to be thankful for! Please stay in touch!

You are not alone. I am a 12 year lung cancer survivor. The miracles and medical changes have been amazing. Lung Cancer has become my blessing. The support of Mayo Clinic has been remarkable and has given me a pathway to a great quality of life, for which I am grateful. I have learned that with time the shock of lung cancer becomes less harsh. The therapies and hard work of medical teams and research will continue to lessen our burden and create a better life for our children and grand children. God Bless You

Hi @scoop2365, as you can see, you will get first-hand experience and support from members who live with lung cancer like @merpreb @alamogal635 @bluelagoon and others, as well as fellow caregivers for people living with lung cancer or cancer like @burrkay @reibur1951 and @artscaping.

Waiting for results is tough. But remember, while lung nodules can be cancerous, most lung nodules are noncancerous (benign). Whatever you find out on Thursday, it will give you a plan for next steps. And the community will be here to accompany you, answers questions where we can and help you navigate the path ahead.

Should you wish to talk with other caregivers about caregiver in general, you may also wish to follow the Caregivers group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers/

Thank you all for the kind words and prayers. I have prayed each and every day and sometimes more then once. I am happy to hear from you all, as you are all that I have at this point other then talking to my wife. It sounds like questions are key and knowledge is power so with prayer I hope we can fight this together. God bless you all and I will post our findings this week after Thursday. Hopefully all goes well.
Thanks everyone.
