I went to Glenfield hospital yesterday to the see lung oncology consultant J A Bennet and he said "YOU DO NOT HAVE CANCER."
I am free!!!
After 3 weeks of pure hell what with the X rays, CT scan with contrast (which burst the vein in my arm so Im bruised from wrist to elbow) Spirometry etc he also said "If I had seen those X Ray plates I wouldnt have even sent you for a CT scan" ??????
Who the hell did they send those X Rays to and who bloody decided to worry the hell out of me???
The upside is I lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks so Im carrying that on cos my stomach has shrunk
Oh and BTW what the 1cm soft tissue mass was was infection as I had bronchitis at the time, hence the breathlessness.

After smoking 30 - 40 fags a day for 30 years I really have dodged the bullet so yes Im stopping smoking on Saturday. Plus Im getting fit so my lung capacity stay good and I need to lose weight for that hernia op.
We had a bottle of champagne all ready for when we got back to either celebrate good news or salute the battle with cancer so either way I was determined to drink it, and after all that I only had a sip lol ;D
Fleecewife yes you are right I did think last night as least I KNOW I havent got any cancer lurking.
Oh yes Rosemary I certainly will not be reccomending this as a diet tip! ;)

Just an added note, sometimes we need a shake to re think the way we live, I did not like my unhealthy weight and have been dieting ever since as I could see I would end up imobile, hope it inspires you, and others, to stop smoking, I have never smoked so not aware of how hard it must be, hope my hubby to be can pack up sooon tooooooo!!! Just enjoy lifes day to day rollacoaster!!!
