PET not too bad

in Lung Cancer #1
Got the results of my PET a little while ago and the doctor was impressed that there was no change in the nasal area from 6 months ago, while it is not NED no change is just as good.

But now a new problem the PET is showing some areas in the Lungs that are suspicious, however he does not think it is cancer. He wants to do another PET in 3 or 4 months just to check but at this point he believe it is something caused more form aspiration rather than cancer.

He also said I don’t know what you are doing but whatever it is just keep doing it, heres to good diet and sunshine

Wishing you all the best

    Hi Julie / Cheryl
    Hi Julie / Cheryl

    Thanks so much for your reply, now the waiting game for a few months and then another PET. But it gives me time to pray, keep strong and think positive about everything, also keep on a healthy diet and breathe alot with some fresh air.

    All the best to you both

    Good luck to you, Hondo
    It seems as you're doing all the right things - I hope the new PET results reflect that!

    diet
    I was reading your profile and you mention to stay alkaline. My husband has a bottle of alkaline water 8.0 PH everyday (a liter) - we go to whole foods and get "Real Water" stabilized 8.0 PH. He has seen a big difference in how he feels since he started drinking the water and we also got a waterfall now in our yard which produces negative ions. He also got Progesic for his joints via mail. I take progesic now and then and the neck pain I have had for years has improved.

    You are doing all the right things; positive thinking - healthy food and drink and clean air.

    I am sure your next PET Scan will show that your doing A OK!
    Hugs, Julie

    Hi Juile
    Yes I agree a lot of these things all helped me during my last treatment and that are why I believe I was able to make it all three times. Some people don’t believe in is but if you ask people who use it 90% of them will tell you they have had some improvement. I have an Ozone maker in my home now and make my own alkaline water.

    Take care

    Hi Attootsie
    I did with my treatment but suggest you talk to your Chemo doctor about it first as some things tend to make the chemo of less affect during treatment.

    Take care

    Good Luck
    Hondo,
    You've done good for so long, hope there isn't anything serious with your lungs now.
    I don't come on here too much anymore, but do keep an eye on people I've gotten to know since I had been on here after my husband died. "Carole"
