    Hi all

    after my lung resection in November (lower lobe) I had a pet in January that was clear. My oncologist has organized 3 monthly pets for this year and if I make it clear to 2018 we will move to 6 monthly. Well the good news is that this weeks pet was clear so 5 months after the op I'm still NED. However severe joint inflammation still evident on the pet. I have been on sulfazalasine for a few weeks and waiting for it to kick in and managing to keep working so I am over the moon happy. Hoping for positive results for all of you wonderful supportive people who I rely on so much for help and information

      Anne-Louise, great news!  And please let us know how you make out on the sulfzalasine.  I started methatrexate 2 weeks ago.  So far, no significant benefit–but still too early to expect a benefit.  Also finding that the Kenalog shots don't last very long–back to walking quite slowly.
