Dear Bonnie,

What a rollercoaster you have been on! I'm so glad it turned out well. But sorry you lost the lobe. Hope you do well on just one intact lung.

You are the 4th person I know who was (almost) diagnosed with lungcancer, and turned out to have something else. I know at least one other person who's friend had the same experience. In two cases scans showed nodules that looked exactly like LC, in one there was some doubt. In all cases biopsies were done and in all those cases doctors were flabbergasted because they had been so sure it was lungcancer.

Just goes to show that docs aren't always right.
I'm glad yours was wrong.

Love

Jacqueline
