Hi Everyone,
Thank you so much for all your prayers. Yesterday I got confirmation about the lung biopsy and surprise surprise it is Squamous Cell Carcinoma, same as my tongue and neck. There is a big mass on my right lung and a tiny mass on my left lung. So I am being sent for a bunch of tests to determine if the cancer has spread anywhere else. I have a bone scan next Thursday, a CT scan of abdomen next Saturday and waiting to hear about the date for a brain MRI.
If all the tests show the cancer has not spread, they will operate on both lungs since I am only 41 and in good shape. If they do find something, they will not operate.
So now I am hoping for a lung operation, Wow, what a thing to hope for!

In March I started a course to be a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. We just finished Anatomy and Physiology which was interesting, but now we are into Preventative Nutrition and it is very difficult for me to sit there and listen when they talk about cancer stuff. I am thinking of quitting school, it is too hard listening to all that now.
Love Sharon
