Sorry to say,but I do have lung cancer !
« on: October 30, 2019, 10:22:26 AM »
In the right lower lobe there is a nodule identified worrisome for malignancy

Measuring 3.0X2.2 cm.

Pet scan is recommended.  There is calcification over the right hemidiaphragm consistant with some plural calcifications.

No other significant findings.
IMPRESSION:a 3.ox 2.2cm. right lower lobe lesion,very concerning for a primary lung malignancy.

PET CT recommended and./or biopsy.

Doctor told me that it is very small and they caught it early so chances are good.

Got a biopsy scheduled for Thursday Nov. 7th.

Lucky thing I`m sober because back in the day I`d be immersed iin my second quart of JD by now.

Oh well,nobody to blame but myself.

I am sorry to hear, Wes, but I am glad that you went for early detection. Sounds like they are positive about the prognosis.. Keep strong.

Very sorry to hear this Wes.  What were your symptoms that prompted you to go in?  Is this in addition to COPD?

Modern medicine is keeping people alive long past their expiration date. I know people with health issues that would have been dead years ago if not for the medical intervention available today. My 92yr old stepfather just got a new hip and is getting around fine, unfortunately. Stay positive.

Cancer won't be confirmed until the biopsy is analyzed. The area in question is small. If it is cancer and it's well contained, it will be gone before you know it. Don't let yourself get down. Stay positive. You are lucky you and your doctor discovered this early on.

Most likely it's nothing. If it were something you would've been taken care of immediately. The fact that you were not pushed to the front of the line is a tell tale sign than there is nothing to be concerned about.

I am fully schooled in medical practice as it pertains to these so called "suspicious" lumps and the like, not because I actually have a medical degree but because I've been "lucky" in knowing MANY people that were put through similar procedures on a "just in case" basis. It's all BS. They're just looking for $$ and the proverbial needle in a haystack gives them the alibi.

Doctors make a shitload of money referring what are known "out of scope" (meaning it is NOT a deadly cancer) to the different specialists (they get a kickback).

Sorry to say it at this time but... you've been placed on the medical assembly line for nothing.

You're OK.

Very sorry to hear this Wes.  What were your symptoms that prompted you to go in?  Is this in addition to COPD?
The COPD was what prompted me to investigate further.

I actually feel awesome but when I exert myself,I cannot breathe for shit.

I`m optomistic though scared as Hell but they caught it early and they sound pretty positive about it which in turn eased my anxiety to a degree.

Thanks hun,I appreciate the concern more than you may realize.

I can`t say that I`m not petrified but to echo your post,I`m a lot more confident today than I would have been 30 years ago.

Thanks brother.

You`re right Prime.....that was my doctors sentiments exactly.
