news + Non scientific but makes me feel good
I have had my tumours in my airways oblitarated (95% removed), so I breathe more easily without making a noise like if I was snoring awake. it was getting pretty bad and felt like i would chock sometimes.
[PS: I do not want to be mis-read I still have a lot of tumors in my lungs inclded 2 that are over 6>cm and smaller ones. The 95 % refers to the blockage only of the airways (in the carinas and bellow) they burned the blockage doing a sort bronchoschopy with a laser at the end, but cannot remove tumours else where with this menthod unfortunately.]
I am going through criteria and biopsy for a trial.. will let you know when it is comfirmed I am accepted (do not want to jinx it), it a super lapatinb type, next generation trialled in the UK and Japan.
Otherwise ouside of science:
the following makes me feel good , don't judge me!!
