spincast Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Pulling for ya down here Lew. Know just how you feel - That diagnosis is like hitting a brick wall at 60. I just had a few square inches of my face removed last month. Just waiting confirmation that the whole C patch is now in the incinerator. May the surgery go well and you and Diane have the joy of many more anniversaries to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirCranksalot Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Wow. That's scary stuff, Lew. I had an x-ray last jan that showed some sort of lump. A bunch of test later, incl CT scan, and a bronscoscopy indicated that it was most likely not cancer. I'm relieved now but the whole experience was quite unsettling. Here's wishing you and your wife all the best thru these tough times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all the good wishes folks, it means a lot to both of us. And Cliff, thanks for the offer of a place to stay during Diane's time in hospital, it's much appreciated, but it's already covered. It's been a scary time around here for the last couple months but we're both feeling pretty confident now after talking with the doctor. This is evidently the most common type of lung cancer and this is the surgery that's normally used and with good success, specially when it's caught early like this. We host a big Christmas party every year and Diane always goes overboard making it nice for everyone, but now between myself and some friends we've convinced her to cancel it this year and I think that's got her more upset than the illness LOL Edited September 24, 2014 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manjo39 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hey Lew, I feel like I know you even though we've never met. My thoughts and prayers are with you. All the best. My dad went through something similar but in his stomach. They caught it early and he overcame it and still doing great years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
