I’m on my tablet. I hope this message goes through. Well I can say I’m a cancer survivor. I had stage 1 lymphoma . I probably spelled it wrong it was lung cancer. Doc said I was cure. The lympnodes were negative. I have to have a CT scan every 4 months. I will have to use oxygen when I get home. Which they plan on discharging me this afternoon. The nurse is breathing down my throat to walk. Hopefully I will be able to post something on Sunday. I have one last post
scheduled tomorrow.

Great news. it’s good to read this again. 🙂
[…] anything but I’ve been writing, mostly my thoughts. Trying to sort out why I’ve been spared by a cancer that could have been swift and aggressive. A cancer that is very rarely found in stage one. I […]
Somehow I missed this post. It’s such a relief to read your good news x
It’s okay. Still a slow recovery but I think everyday is a little better.
You are a survivor in more ways than one. Love you chica!!!!
Thank you my love
YAY! That’s awesome! Best wishes! ❤
Thank you much.
What a miracle you are! I love you so much! You have a Karma that lights up the world! Lots of love, Emily
Thank you Emily. I learned I can’t rush.
PTL it has not gone any further! The getting checked every 4 months is not nice but oxygen at home bites! Yes do walk it will keep fluid from building up in lungs and breathe deep as much as possible, I hope they give you exercises for your lungs. I have COPD Emphysema diagnosed 9 years ago and have with following instructions avoided so far having to have O2 at home, I do have to take 5 breathing treatments a day though. So please please do as they say and keep breathing deep my friend. Still praying! xxx

Thank you much Diana.
I did not hear about you having surgery until today. Wishing you well. I had lung surgery and I know it will take time to recover. It was crazy but I remember the incision on my back hurt when I walked. I did not realize how the back muscles are involved in walking, holding our body upright. I had lung cancer as well. I have been a survivor for 10 years.
It’s definitely nothing to sneeze at. I just want to relax but I know I need to walk and build my strength back up. Thanks for your insight and the wonderful news of 10 years cancer free. Very hopeful
You will get you strength back. I had a lot of muscle spasms in my chest that were pretty bad with the surgery and had to take the pain meds on schedule. But if you had the video-assisted surgery I think it is not as painful. But still you are not supposed to be able tor run a marathon right away. I was short of breath if I exerted myself or climbed stairs but then my body adjusted and I was ok. It takes time. It is good they caught it early for you. Be hopeful. 🙂
Thanks for that insight. I am more tired and a lot of pain today. My O2 drops down to 79 and doesn’t go above 97. I take the pain meds and been sleeping. Yes he did it with the robot because of m5 other health issues. He wanted to use as little stress as possible.
Big hugs lady! I’m so glad that you are cured and it was stage 1. I’m sending you light and love. ❤
Thank you Jackie. I miss you guys. I’m having a hard time concentrating so it will be a little longer before I get back to blogging.
You just take care of you my friend. That’s the most important thing. ❤
Fabulous news. I am so happy for you.
Thank you much.

Remember our Nano Poblano teammate who had to have surgery for the lump in her lung this week? Well, how about this good news she’s reporting from her cancer doctor today? Yay, Kim!
This is the best news, Kim! Way to go. Fantastic. Get that oxygen up and you will be recovering from the surgery at home. I am so happy to hear this! Fantastic. Good things can happen to good people, cancer survivor. 🙂
Thanks Mark. It’s just slow recovery but thankful I’ll be around a little longer. 🙂
I’m thankful for that Kim. Very thankful for that. 🙂 Hang in during the slow recovery process, my friend.
Thanks for the update. *hugs*
Hugs back.
🙂
How are you feeling?
Feeling better. Just tired.
That is to be expected. Take care of yourself sweetie. xx
Good to know you’re in good hands, Kim. That nurse is right, of course; best to get moving as soon as poss. Seems so cruel, and yet it’s the best thing to do to get the system working!
xoxoxo
Yes she was right. I’m getting there slowly but not complaining.
Thinking of you, Kim… You can complain to me, if you’d wish… Promise I won’t tell..! 😉
xoxoxo
I’m grateful no complaints. It could have been worst. 🙂
Stay strong. Thinking of you.
Thank you Richard.
Oh man. A. I’m so glad that it has been removed and eradicated such that the doc says you are cured and not in remission. That must surely give you peace of mind. B. I’m sure the thought of having to tote around an oxygen tank seems tiring, but man oh man I’m glad you are alive and well and able to breathe at all. And C, I just love you. “Thank you universe for leaving Kim with us as a cancer survivor. May she use this experience to the benefit of the beings of your creation.” Love, Sheri
Thank you Sheri. I know I am blessed.
Glad to read your good news. And take your time with getting yourself back to “normal” life, including posting. Take care of yourself. You are after all your *own* best friend. If not, then there’s work to be done. 🙂
I will Ben. I’m going to rest as much as I can.
🙂
sending healing hopes and prayers your way! ❤
Thank you much Cindy.
Good news! Yay! ❤️
❤
That’s great news, but don’t push yourself too hard
No I won’t.
I would also like to wish you good health.
Thank you. 🙂
((hugs)) and ❤
Back at you love. 🙂
wishing you good health
take care
sriram
Thank you very much.
Congratulations! I’m a 30+ year lung cancer survivor, so it can be done. And as much as it pains you, do get up and walk. It really does help the healing process and helps bring your strength back. Trust me
Thanks Barney and you are my beacon of hope. I’m up and around just don’t want to go outside and walk. It’s too cold but I’m getting up and down the stairs. Thanks for your encouragement.
walking is important in the hospital. Wishing you good health
I’m trying but my saturation keeps dropping.
