I Am Not Lucky But I Am Blessed

Just got the results of my Lung scans
I told a few of you when I got my results I would let yall know what they were ,

"No cancer detected "

So heart is still strong as a horse
Nodules on my lungs have not changed is shape or size
I can still walk when my MRI's show I shouldn't be able to ..

Might not be such a struggle asking for the years until my son is grown after all

I was a tad bit concerned ,my white blood cells are still off the chart
but all my vitals have been perfect lately

Pain and lack of sleep is still an issue ,but I am used to pain
I am tickled ,,I don't have cancer

Yall have a blessed one ,,I am 🤗

That's great news. I got my biopsy about 3 weeks ago, took my doc a week to call, no cancer cells too

@rckt148 I still have those nodule things on my prostrate, but no cancer, my kidneys and liver aren't working properly, but at 71 ya gotta think some things will break down

@mrmoose I have had 3 heart attacks
12 decompressed discs ,both knees bone to bone
Spurs in both shoulders and an impingement in the right one
the lower lobe of my left lung has been collapsed for years and I have no clue when that even happened
I had a heart attack I didn't know I had ,the enzymes in my blood and the little damage they do see ,and a bad valve ,they said another one could finish me ,,
Doctors check my range of motion every 3 months
With all the damage to my spine ,and its gotten worse over the last 5 years ,,they ask how I can do what I can do and how I am able to walk ,,,they think I take some kind of supplements that I am just not telling them about ,,I'm not
They mapped my nerve system with a very painful EMG ,
The results were over 200 sensory nerves wrapped up in scar tissue from the surgery they removed part of my spine

I was in intensive care on Feb 1st ,and hospitalized on the 26th in critical condition
Thats when my doctor ordered all these tests ..I have more to go but this was a big one

Though my heart has some damage ,,its still beating strong
My O2 stats are perfect for a man my age ,,I am 60
And I can still walk when doctors said I would be in a wheel chair no later then age 45 ,and I still have full range of motion
The pain in my legs is coming from the scar tissue
The spasms from that ,and the charlie horse cramps I get mainly when I try to sleep are my biggest battle
one I am used to and will endure
Theses tests only prove one thing
I am not done until the Boss says I am ,and not before
Best wish's to you my friend
It does suck to get old 🤗

@rckt148 WOW, that sucks. I had heart attacks too, Now I have a fib and v tach. Of course I'm on blood thinners and have to test every other day, due to dvt and pe

@mrmoose Have to keep you in my prayers
I fear saying that on SW anymore ,so many are offended by any signs of faith ,,but my faith has got me this far
and its mentioned in my medical reports
My faith has seen me through a lot and I still stay encouraged and strong in spirits
The say ,,thats half the battle ,never giving up
I refuse ,,but the thought of dying fighting for my last breath ,,did have me a little scared
I might still die saving someone yet LOL
Have a good one my friend ,stay positive ,,I'll pray

@rckt148 Thank you, I am not offended at all
