I had a whole long post written in my head, but then Amy went to bed and my tiredness schwacked me in the head, so I will be brief.
Biopsy showed that the tumour is definitely cancer. The tumour is covering all three of the major openings to Nan’s left lung, so surgery would require the whole lung to be removed.
But, surgery is a possibility, depending entirely on the results of a PET scan. PET scans take about a fortnight to book into too (waiting list) and we will have to travel to Melbourne to get it done.
Then, after we get THOSE results, treatment options can be discussed.
The good news though? The cancer is a “squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer” which means that it is a slower growing cancer. (Name is provided for anyone wanting to google it or whatever. Also for Mum).
So, I need everyone to pray that the nodules of possible cancer that the CT scan picked up are not in fact actual cancer. I need you to pray that the lymph nodes are not involved. I need you to pray that the pain Nan is feeling in her side is not the cancer moving to her bones.
Okay? Because having the PET scan show that those things haven’t happened would be fantastic.
And I need that right now.

Barbaras last blog post..191/366 – Levitating
If it is a slow growing one then there is a little more time to work out treatment which will make all the difference.
Good luck, now it is time to pray and hope.
Veronica, my thoughts and prayers are reaching out to Nan now!
Well those were ‘good’ results insofar as a positive for cancer can be good. I’m hoping the PET scan is even better and that treatment will give your Nan a whole lot of years to enjoy.
Hugs to you all
I’m so sorry to hear this news. You are all in my thoughts. *hug*
Consider it done. Thoughts are with ya!
