Your prayers must be working! I have been thru the ringer but they didn't find any other cancer therefore I get to have the Lung Surgery. It is scheduled for June 23. I am having a Thoracotomy where they are going to cut under my right arm and get the tumor out thru my ribs. I can hardly lift my right arm due to the right neck disection, but I guess they will figure it out.
Won't know until after the surgery whether I will get chemo or radiation.
A real bummer is that I have a team of 10 friends that were joining me for the Relay For Life on June 25. I'll be in the hospital but my friends will be there walking all night for me. They are going to tape the entire event for me so I won't miss anything. I will be there next year!!
