My scans look good.

I saw the oncologist yesterday (Friday). He says my scans look good. The tumor has not grown. It is probably dead tissue.

The reason I am so breathless at times and have worse a-fib is that the stereotactic radiation, which I finished in December, probably killed some of the healthy lung tissue around the tumor. It may never come back. I just have to condition myself and exercise in ways that I can, that work for me. I may see some improvement that way. I have less lung capacity.

Thanks everyone, for the support. I am kicking cancer's butt.

Walking is one of the best all around exercises, I believe.
Hope you find something that works for you.
