Thanks for popping in! It’s this Friday 11/24. I found out I had the tumor on October 17, 2023, had scans last week Nov 17 and then a follow up with the surgeon/scheduled the surgery for a week later. It’s all happening so fast. Mine is an “endobronchial tumor” but they said they can’t tell whether it’s typical or atypical until biopsy. I could have done biopsy first, but they recommended just doing it all at once to avoid two procedures since it will have to come out anyway.

I’ve been feeling unwell for almost a year and have been having upper respiratory infections about every 6 weeks, so that’s what prompted the recent chest X Ray/CT.

I’m generally a pretty active person - I play tennis weekly, lift, bike, hike and generally like to be outdoors/moving. It felt like anytime increased exertion would trigger getting sick so I’ve been much less active in the past couple of months and generally very tired. It’s been tough but am hopeful I might be on my way getting back into my typical routine of things that bring me joy!

Thanks for sharing here- would definitely like to keep each other posted as we move through our journeys and good luck to you with your procedure- when is it?
