So true, and good luck with your treatment options. I wish you well.
What prompted me to start this thread was I recently my annual abdominal CT scan to check on the status of an AAA repair (Abdominal Aorta aneurysm). While reading the Scan, the technical noticed a nodule on my right lung lobe that wasn't there last years, so my PCP ordered a full chest CT for tomorrow.
We don't know what it is yet, so I am just treading water. But, with 45 years worth of dues paid into the I have cancer club (two packs of Pall Mall non filters a day), I think it is about time I was accepted.
My wife and I have been discussing possible paths forward, and I am not interested in any treatment that does not have a good probability of recovering my current quality of life. So, if it is Cancer, and if it is going to reek havoc on my life, I would rather just start palliative care... that is my preferences, and only apply to me, I respect you for fighting back and wish you all the world of luck and good fortune.
