Rivervalleymgb Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 So I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Very small tumor. Had a lobectomy. Got all of the cancer. It hasn't spread. Surgery was 11-6. Sent to ICU on the 8th with pneumonia and sepsis. Forced out of ICU last Friday evening (good thing!). Been in a private hospital inside the original hospital. Big problem is I also have pulmonary fibrosis which has come on with a vengeance! Never experienced more pain in my life than the lung surgery. Couple of takeaways: If you have cancer with pulmonary fibrosis, don't do surgery. The other; politicians should stay out of medicine. This day and age there is no reason for anyone to be in pain. What is so moral about forcing people to suffer? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco-d-gama Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Tough combination of ailments. Keep us posted. Nothing else constructive to do in any ICU. Sleep is your best friend for now and I know it’s not easy to accomplish there. You have our collective concerns and best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I'm glad you can still post. You might check out Arkansas Traveler databases. Every state has one online; that's Arkansas'. There's more than twenty days of info and literature there. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
