Us old farts love this subject, we can go on and on and on for hours about our health issues.
I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2017. The superior and middle lobes were removed leaving just the inferior lobe, about 25 percent of the total right lung area as both were cancerous. All fixed!
Nope, roll on 18 months and the cancer returned to lymph nodes around the lung so I underwent chemo and radio treatment. All fixed!
Nope, 18 months later it was back, left lung and what was left of the right lung, so I underwent very aggressive radio. All fixed!
Nope. 12 months later it's back - the Doc thinks. Saw the oncologist today, one spot about 5cm in the left lung which could be cancerous. Oncology is apparently just a guessing game. For now it's a wait and see.
So I'm on the fourth cancer merry go round.
Smoking is not good for you apparently. I quit in 1996, 21 years ago, now I'm paying for it.
