Yes thing aren’t looking so good…, sad how this can happen. To begin with before CC operation she had two CT scans done, one on the lungs and one on the liver and kidneys .We went to oncology last Friday25th March, we waited for hrs only to get a doctor who had know idea of CC case. He told us nothing about the scan, he said oncology didn’t send us for it, it must have been thoracic (lung specialist) He did tell us though that in the last operation which was only two week ago, that the nodule they removed was cancer again… We left there feeling like it was a waste of time, He couldn’t answer any questions I ask…Thursday 1st April we went to Thoracic, the doctor we saw was great and explained about the surgery and told us they got the cancer with good clear margins… When I asked about the scan he said they didn’t order them either, it seems it just got sent to us, the request was made around Jan, we did have them done then, but when we got the letter in the mail, thought it was a new one., and that it had to do with CCs op we didn’t hesitate to get them done again… When he looked them up he said that this was before surgery so the cancer in the right lung would still be seen… That’s when we saw it… There in front of us on the left side was a new blotch … On further reading the report he went out to get the head doctor… Remember CC only had the nodules/cancer removed from the left lungs only about two months ago, this one wasn’t there then… This new one is about 2cm already, but in such a tricky spot that they will not go in so soon after her last two surgeries… It is Big news as far as her cancer is going, the doctor got very serious and explained that the only reason that remove them is to extend life, and when I asked about them coming back, he said they expect them to come back that’s why they take them out, I asked if chemo was an option and he said these would probably not react to chemo. And that she had all they got give her…Then he asked me about how many kids I have, I said one more… He then told CC to do all the things she wanted to do and told us as a family we should go on a holiday, they are going to watch this one close, but scans aren’t until end of May, he said and when it is time to operate be prepared it is going to be big, It may mean the removal of the whole left side lung…;(… Think about it… What then does it mean should the cancer appear again on the right side :(… God it does hurts my heart, I don’t know which way is up anymore…
This was written on Friday… This morning I woke up with the full impact of what this could mean… Now I know the meaning of real grief.
I am so sorry, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
