Now with having said that, I happened to research mult SCC's....my % of having these metastisize is almost 30% now. I DO NOT like those #'s.

My wife just ordered me 3 new UV shirts with sleeves & 3 pair of baggy below knee shorts. I just can NOT wear sunscreen...it is messy, makes greasy spots on my clothes, I accidentally rub it in my eyes....so, long sleeves & my UV hat now.

Saw my pulmo today for 6 months FU....will be getting new scan of chest to see status of my 4 lung nodules. Started with 2 a year ago, then March 2022 grew to 4 & doubled in size. Scan is 09/19/22. Oh, a happy note, my pulmo looked at me today, she said, Donna, you look like you are 40 yrs old. You DO NOT LOOK your true age. She said you are relatively healthy, but you are so positive, always smiling, & enjoying your life! You LIVE life, she knows we go camping almost every month year round, and I always show her pictures, or tell her about new vegan recipes I have made. We are like best friends. We always hug & I tell all my Dr.'s I love them every time I see them. I have an incredible bevy of them!!!

I see my oncologist Oct unless these scans show anything differently.

I am going to be seeing a pain management specialist, to try & get my fibro, polyarthritis quieted down some.

My whole left side is a ball of spasms....

Going into this positively, will face whatever outcome is, head on! I have amazing support team, including all of you in this group. My wife is so amazing!

I am looking ahead to great outcomes with pain management & my scan results!!

Gentle hugs to all of you...I <3 you all! clay

Hi Clay,
Thanks for sharing what is going on with you. I hope that the new scans have good news. I was wondering if you have ever looked at powder sunscreen? I can send you links if you're interested. I love your positive attitude towards the things you're dealing with. It isn't just helping you, it's helping me, so thank you.

Since I last posted, I got the ball rolling for my needed tests. I have an appointment tomorrow for the blood work I need to do before my scan, and I also scheduled an ekg at the same time. I'm starting a new arthritis medication that can cause heart issues so they want me to get the EKG before starting then again two weeks after I start to make sure it's ok. I've been sitting on that for two months. After I get this stuff done, I can schedule the scan.

Thanks for the support and encouragement.
Nina
