Thank you Janet for letting the 4WT Family know what has been going on....it's been a rough few weeks, but I'm not gonna give up....NO WAY JOSE!!!!

We did recieve the results yesterday, all 3 of my Girls were with me...Like I could stop them from coming with...

I now have 20% lung capacity, and yes there is a 1 inch lesion in the lower right lung...it is active, whatever the heck that means....my treatment options are few...they will not do a biopsy on my lung because it is too dangerous nor will they do any radiation or chemo, because I'm too weak.....didn't eat enough Wheaties evidently...
So the plan is to wait until September. and redo the Pet Scan and see if it has grown...
My dtr's asked the Doctor what he would do if it was HIS MOM and he said he definately would take the risk and wait....The fact that I went into the hospital with the diagnosis of pneuomonia (sp), nothing else, and it was treated so agressively with antibotics and steroids and was able to come home 8 days later is a good sign....so I am confident that all is well and if it ain't broke don't fix, if that makes sense....
I have not posted this on any other forum and will not...but as per usual I feel comfortable in sharing with all of you, so I am....I guess some things never change...There is no place like home.....Love to you all.....
