My Story

After tearing my right shoulder rotator cuff, the Doctor took an MRI and X-Ray. I was shocked to find out in mid-Nov '09 that I had a tumor in the upper right lung lobe. After a flurry of tests, biopsies, etc, I've been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer, which is also in the lung lymph nodes. On November 30th I start chemotherapy and radiation. Then a 3 week break, followed by surgery to remove the lung lobe. I have no symptoms whatsoever, so this is really hard to assimilate with all the information that has been thrown at me. I'm scared spitless and am having such a hard time staying mentally positive.

Postponement

FYI -- The test results are not back yet so my appointment for today has been postponed until Monday afternoon, May 23rd. My Oncologist sent one of the lung tissue samples to a specialized lab in Boston to do DNA/genome testing on the lung cancer cells. The results from that test will determine which drug(s) I will go on. So... a couple more days of waiting.
