Hi there,
I had a lung biopsy on June 5, 2008, and received my results yesterday (June 9th).....adenocarcinoma. A PET scan is scheduled for June 24th and from there, I guess it will be determined as to which route will be taken; surgery, or chemo/radiation.
Yesterday and this morning I have been on an emotional roller coaster. About the time I think that the tears cannot flow anymore, they somehow manage to start again. How does one handle it all? Of course, I had to do research via the Internet as soon as I received "the verdict" and that did nothing to assure me that this could be beaten. I live about a three hour drive from where I will be having treatment (PET will be 5 hr drive for me [one way of course]).
I am a female disabled veteran and in decent health other than having Dystonia. 2 yrs ago I had DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) to help me gain control of my body again and now this comes along.
Thanks for your time,
adaira
