I saw my pulmonologist today.
He said the Oncologist had the wrong information in my records. And that's why he pushed the radiation treatment. Turns out I'm a prime candidate for the surgery. Hopefully, next week I will see the lung oncologist that this doctor suggested we see. So it'll be a while until I make up my mind. But the surgery did sound better today. I'll have more to say after I see him. It's a robotic surgery. Much less invasive. Which is always nice to hear. Until next week, I hope you're all doing well. The doctor spent an hour with us asking questions and telling us all he know about it.

Surgery might well be quicker and less invasive. I was assuming you would have both - a belt and braces type of thing. But I suppose you've got to start with one thing or the other, and if that thing sorts it out with no need for the other, that's a bonus :)

(((((Hugs))))) It's a positive update. Not great, but positive. Once you're all healed, I suggest laughter therapy. It boosts your metabolism, helps with stress, strengthens the lungs and your releases endorphins.

Even if nothing is funny, a few minutes of fake laughing turns into real laughter.
