Bad and good news

[aprilvak]

So it’s leiomyosarcoma. This announcement Is not being made on other social media at this time. Margins and lymph nodes were all clean so I shouldn’t need chemo or radiation.

Funny thing tho, that I got a lung cancer not caused by smoking.

So what is the treatment if it's not chemo or radiation?

[aprilvak]

100% cutting that bitch outta there. So fingers crossed rn I’m actually cured, we just have to make sure it isn’t anywhere else.

[jarofmonkeys]

Yeah, hopefully after they cut that thing out you'll be good to go. Fingers crossed.

[christobel]

Thats a plus on no chemo.

[aprilvak]

Definitely.

So what they've already done may be all they need to do?

I'm really glad it wasn't any worse... but yeah, still...

*hugs*

Yes sir, at least for the lung tumor. Ian’s done more reading about it than I have and he said they’ll probably want to take out my adrenal gland and thyroid because LMS can be dormant in a tumor for years. But those are both day surgery, no big deal. This was the only big mama surgery I’ll need.

That's great to hear all things considered
