    Let me say I am feeling great. My chemo is over and it went well. Not too many side effects. I have an appointment with my surgeon and a CT Scan in two weeks. I do not see my oncologist until February. I am very positive that all will be well.

    seriously Bev? What in the world are you doing with lung cancer. I mean you have had enough problems. But I am glad the treatment is going OK. As always, you are in my prayers.

    I had a CT Scan on November 16th. Since it was only two months since my last chemo treatment I was not expecting the results. They have noticed nodules on two of my remaining four lobes. I will have another scan done in February before I see my oncologist to determine the next course of treatment. We are hoping that the nodules are just inflammation. So, great news on my bladder but not so on my lungs.

    Hi Bev, I see that you, like me, are not only dealing with bladder cancer, but also lung cancer as well. I have had two major lung surgeries, but my lung cancer is back again. They can’t do any further surgery on my lung. I have had chemo in the past, but was too sick to continue, so had to come off of it. My last cystoscopy was clear as well, and now this. I will be starting radiation after Christmas and the hope is that I can tolerate the treatments. I hope your scan in February turns out to be just inflammation. Lots of luck going forward and keep us posted.

    Lorraine, thank you so much for your good wishes. I hope your radiation treatments will be tolerable and that you receive on “all clear” on your lung cancer.
    I will be thinking of you.

    Hello Lorraine and Bev

    Best of wishes in your battle. Remember, the war isn’t over yet. You are moving on to another battleground and you have a lot of strategic battle plans on your side.

    Remember to take care of yourself and, if you do Christmas, really, really enjoy the season and don’t let cancer be front and center of the season. It doesn’t deserve that.

    Also remember to breath, hug those you love, spend time with those you are close to. And laugh.

    Take care

    Bev and Cheryl, thanks so much for your best wishes as I embark on another part of this journey. I will do Christmas, but it certainly will be a watered down version compared to what I used to do. Not a lot of family around now, but two of my now grown-up grandkids who I am very close to, and some really good friends. As for the radiation treatments, I will do the PET scan and the “markings” before Christmas, and start the treatments In January. Hopefully, we won’t have bad storms to contend with in the New Year.

    Good luck to everyone having stuff done.

    Hello Lorraine

    Cherish those around you and don’t worry about whether the house is messy for Christmas. Take a deep breath and spend time with the grandkids and your really good friends. Then look forward to the next chapter in your journey kicking the butt out of that cancer.

    Take care

    Thanks Cheryl, although I will tone down Christmas plans, I just may splurge and have Molly Maid in to houseclean as a gift to myself. My grandkids are now young adults, but my granddaughter has a new baby, so I do have a great granddaughter. She is very precious and her Mom is a great Mom to her. I am so proud of her as she has come through a lot in her own young life. I’ve been battling cancer for six years now and it is the presence of these young people in my life that gives me the motivation to keep on fighting this terrible disease. So, onward and upward, yet again.

    Lorraine
