This will be my first scan since my lung bioscopy which showed no cancer. I now have to be scanned every 3 months for the next 2 years. I'm hoping and praying that the scan shows no change with the exception of no smoking. I do several different lung exercises which I see some improvement like with the spirometer that I couldn't even get to 1500 I can now get to 2000. I still feel like I have shortness of breath even though my oxygen saturation is 96-98% room air. I haven't even thought of throwing in the towel and lighting up a cigarette through all this. I know I've done some major damage to my lungs by smoking and it will never be the same again. Its amazing how when I see people smoking how I remembered when and where I would smoke and still have no desire to have one. I do not lecture them on quitting, I just tell them my story of the hell I put my family and my parents who are 80 years old on waiting to see if I had lung cancer or not. I know I'm not out of the woods yet as to why they are going to continue to check me every 3 months for 2 years. I'm just going to do my best with keeping the faith and praying and not smoking.
