Some news for all:

53. Sending hugs and positive, healing vibes, Peggy. I'm so sorry the scan results weren't

what you'd hoped to see, but it is a positive note that the cancer in your right lung hadn't grown. I don't know how long you were on Tagrisso before the scan, but possibly more time was needed for the drug to help. And there are other therapies, which could have fewer side effects. I was just rereading your earlier health updates and saw nothing about surgery after you'd posted about being okayed for the operation in mid-November after you'd had the two tests you'd needed, and passed both. So I'm wondering if possibly the surgery is still planned, just postponed till after the holidays, with Tagrisso tried first, since its shrinking the tumor could make surgery unnecessary or at least simpler.

Apologies if I'd missed an update on the surgery.
