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.

April 20, 2012  

Here's the latest:  The HIDA scan showed liver and gall bladder functions as completely normal.  My GP is perplexed.  He thinks it could be a side effect from the chemo; he thinks it could be scar tissue from the surgery 2+ years ago; he thinks it could be neither of these.  So-o-o-o-o, I'm going to have an Endoscopy procedure (down the throat) on Tuesday.  I'm going to have Gordy paint a teensy-weensy clown on my tonsils just to surprise the doctor who does the procedure!!  HA!  Will let you know the results.
