Health update:
I’m a week away from my follow up CT scan. This scan will validate ( or not) that the Targeted Radiation I did in Dec/Jan was successful.
Last Friday I had a dermatology appointment to address some skin issue I’ve had for a few years-actually started right after my first encounter with NSCLC, in 2019. It was a new dermatologist for me, so he wanted to do a full body exam. Everything looked pretty typical until he got to the back of my left, upper thigh. There/was a patch of red skin in a place I would have never noticed. He took a biopsy, but is 99% certain it is basal cell carcinoma. When the biopsy is finished he’ll call me with results and next steps. I’ve been so focused on my lung tumor …well, this event took me by surprise. So, now tracking two cancers in my body. 🤷🏼♂️🤔.
Wishing everyone a belated Easter. Warmer weather is on the horizon for us here in the Pacific Northwest 🤞🏻.
Blessings to all 🙏🏻.
Health Update
I had my last CT scan this Tuesday. Today I got a call from the Radiation Oncology Clinic, apparently the doctor saw something in my scan and he has decided I need 15 SBRT treatments rather than the 5 that was initially scheduled. Big change. I still start on Dec. 19th, but now the treatments go until January 10th, including my birthday on January 5th. Now we’ll have a quiet Christmas, New Year and birthday!🎉
The CT also discovered that I have a fractured T12 vertebrae. That problem will have to be put off till end of January. When it rains it pours, I guess..
I miss being out with my camera 📷.
Will post after my first treatment.
