I must say I am feeling extremely positive this morning:
- We understand what is causing the breathlessness and are treating the issue.
- Whilst the Tumor has grown it has not grown that much and is not affecting the aorta or the heart, or the right lung tubes.
- The lymph nodes have not grown significantly
- No metastasized tumors are present.
- Radiotherapy could improve the breathing further.
The bottom line is that being out of breath is not going to kill me...it is more the psychological effects that I need to control - having the Oxygen equipment installed at home gives great comfort in that respect.
Mind you this is the ultimate roller coaster ride of all time - you never know what is coming next!!
Glad to hear you are feeling positive and managing what is thrown at you so well.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for continued SLOW growth of that damn tumour!!
Rich and Nichola
I certainly agree with you there!!
ReplyDeleteThose are all GREAT things!! Stay calm and positive...the calm will help with the breathing (I know easier said than done) and the positive will help with everything else. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Glad your home, the hospital does suck!
