Finally back doing a bit of Embroidery again. 2 years ago in June my Husband past away and 6 weeks later I was diagnosed with Lung Cancer.
It was a lucky find as I had been to the Doctor because I hurt my lower back showering my Husband. A CT scan on my back showed something higher up so another scan was done in that area then a Lung Biopsy to confirm.
It was small cell cancer the one that they don't operate on. Had Chemo and Radiation which I tolerated very well except for the mouth ulcers.
Have been having MRI and CT scans 3 monthly since and things are looking pretty good.
I am slowly getting back into sewing and Machine Embroidery I have been checking out the projects but not commenting until today.

My, you've been through a really hard time and I'm so glad things are looking toward happier times. If you're like me doing projects on my machine is so creative -- selecting designs, choosing cute fabrics, plus just the right threads, and so I immerse myself in it and forget my worrries and troubles for a bit. Then there's the joy of surprising a friend by giving it. May God continue to bless you through this time.

Thank You. I think I had it so easy really as I didn't get the vomiting from Chemo as I saw a lot of other patients get. A few mouth Ulcers and losing 9 kilos was nothing compared to what they were going through. I even managed to avoid Covid. You are right I made some zipper bags for friend's grandchildren as a surprise and that felt good.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope they caught your cancer before it went somewhere else. I also hope you can enjoy making projects again. So glad you are with us again!

Thank You. Yes so far it has not travelled elsewhere. I am so lucky that I have an excellent GP and she followed up on things. Who would have thought a lower back ache could end up being Lung Cancer. Pays to have things checked out.

Thank You for your kind words. I see your Hubby is going through a bad time too. I totally lost my appetite and the Doctor just eat whatever you fancy even the naughty food. my best friend just made me desserts until I felt like proper food.
