Would You Believe It?

The wonderful surgeon who did my lung cancer operation at Guy's Hospital in December has told me I am now free of cancer, I don't need any further treatment and it won't return. I was so shocked and relieved and it's taken a while to sink in.
Apparently I am in the 2% of people who get this type of LC. I asked if my smoking many years ago had caused it and he said not, it was purely bad luck.
So, who's a lucky girl then? XXXXX

WOW, good for you, best news you could ever have. :0) :0)

[Mozz71]

Awwww congratulations LB!

[hereIam]

Wow, that's brilliant lb. I've never heard of anyone being told that cancer won't return before. Well done you xx

[Maydup]

What truly wonderful news Ladybirder, I shall raise a small glass of something to you this evening!

[Lie-in King]

Great news ladybirder! Better than winning the lotto!

[Tilly2]

Wow! That's amazing. What a relief for you.
Onwards and upwards, LB.

[ladybirder]

Thanks everyone, it is amazing and I realise I am very lucky, so many aren't as JJ says. I don't know how he can say another one won't appear either HIA and we didn't think to ask him at the time. At a guess it would be that nobody in the 2% of people where I belong has ever had it recur (so far). You can all have a drink on me this evening. Cheers!

You would be very very unlucky to have a second primary. Go on have a lovely life I am very pleased for you.

LB I’m delighted reading this, it’s been very hard for you of late, so happy , you go girl x

[Peter Pedant]

very pleased to hear it

[ladybirder]

Thank you Rowan I'll do my best. I have been left with the damage it has done of course which can't be taken away. So I am limited because I struggle for breath at the slightest exertion and I shall have to live with that. But, as some of you may remember, my rescue JRT had to be put to sleep last August and I want to replace him shortly. An older rescue would be ideal but picking one out of so many is hard. I'm looking at two presently, both having been in rescue since 2013. Isn't that awful?
Walking a dog will get me out and about with my dog walking friends:-)

He's the expert lb and he knows what he's talking about. Isn't it great that you can go and enjoy the rest of your life now without it hanging over you ? What will YOU be drinking tonight lb …?

[hereIam]

You know, I was going to mention about you getting another dog, but thought you may not be up to it yet and I've just read your post that you will be getting one now. BRILLIANT …. x
