If I did not post before, I am posting now. After I had the biopsy done of my lungs, the doctor's office called and scheduled me for lung resection, on February 16. They sent me all the paperwork, scheduled visits for pulmonary function tests, EKG, blood work and the whole ball of wax. I was totally freaked out. I sent out a text message to everyone saying....It's official. I have lung cancer.
I cried all day, I researched lung mets...not good news. Likelihood of seeing my daughter graduate college...next to none! Definitely not when she got her masters!
It can only happen to ME! The doctor's office jumped the gun. The doctor called me after working hours and said....good news! Biopsy showed granulomatous disease. WAIT.......no surgery? I'm good? Are you sure?
So, I found out I didn't have lung mets! Since I have the extremely good luck of getting bad news, I want to double check, so I have the slides of the pathology sent to Cedars and make an appointment with Dr. Rob McKenna. I see him and he says he agrees with the findings. Have another scan in 3 months and if there is no growth, I am fine....just scans every three months.
