Gone Too Young
I just found out one of my friends from grade school lost his son to brain cancer in early December. My heart breaks for my friends that they lost their son, but after reading his obituary, it is clear that he squeezed every minute out of his life and that he had the same love of life as his parents. We all knew each other…

Renal Cell Carcinoma
UPDATE - Yesterday was not a good day. I was getting ready to go to my Podiatrist when I received a call from the hospital where my lung biopsy was to have been done today.

Asking for a friend

Foggy stuff in lungs
Has anyone had a CT scan and it came back with "small ground glass opacities"? If so what is your experience with it? Also, a false alarm sent me into a spin - HU blood test came back with "small cell carcinoma in lungs". Before my onco doc saw the confirmation HU test negated the first one (I don't have it) the CT scan…

I'm baackkk!!!
I guess I'm guilty of taking a leave of absence from the group. I've logged on several times to see what was going on but didn't comment at all. I think this pandemic has finally gotten to me. I have no idea why as when there was no pandemic, I didn't go out very much. I guess just knowing that I can't is what upsets me.…
