NOW! The biggest issue is you, DM. We want to see you post on how the recovery is coming along. I'm a little too able to relate to 'lung' issues.  |
Well. The operation itself took nearly twice as long as originally planned, mostly due to somewhat dodgy/incomplete information from the last CT scan I had. Essentially, they have removed the whole upper lobe, and part (maybe as much as half) of the middle lobe of my right lung, due to a fairly significant 'lesion'.
Tumour. It was a fucking TUMOUR Doc, FFS!!! Anyway.
Surgeon is convinced he has got every last molecule of cancer (which was early stage 2, in case you know what that means - related to size alone, from what I can work out. I digress) So now, I have 3 surgical wounds healing nicely, and a drain site hole, also healing. Get a check up from the surgeon in about 6 weeks or so. Gonna be off work for, 3 or 4 months they reckon - I'm 64 next year, so it'll be at least
four months if I've got anything to do with it!!
Incidentally, this was found
by accident, while scanning for potential bowel cancer, so I've still got that side of things to look forward to! Ho hum.
Still, I'm here to moan about it, and plan to be for a long time yet!!
