Cancer Support
Related: About this forumMy scans look good.
I saw the oncologist yesterday (Friday). He says my scans look good. The tumor has not grown. It is probably dead tissue.
The reason I am so breathless at times and have worse a-fib is that the stereotactic radiation, which I finished in December, probably killed some of the healthy lung tissue around the tumor. It may never come back. I just have to condition myself and exercise in ways that I can, that work for me. I may see some improvement that way. I have less lung capacity.
Thanks everyone, for the support. I am kicking cancer's butt.
