Results from CT scan

Tweet

Our family doc ask me a question, I answered, which led to a chest x-ray, which showed a spot on my lung, this has been there since 1991, it is a calcium deposit, I told him that but he wouldn't take that as fact and sent me for a CT scan, this showed a spot on my right lung, he called me at 8am on a Saturday morning and said he believed it to be cancer and was referring me to a lung doctor, (what happen to the meeting u in his office to discuss this with you). Upon taking this to the lung doc, he said got to have biospy, I went through this biospy that he said he couldn't get to so next in line was a needle biospy, from all that I read it was a horrible thing to have done. Don't believe all that you read, if the doctor knows what he is doing it is painless, the most hurt out of it was when they gave me the shot to relax me. Yesterday was the day to go get the results of the test, they were not good, he laid it on the line it is cancer. Believe me that is the most awful thing that you can hear. I cried all day, shut myself in my room, didn't take calls from anyone. I was done, life was over for me, he has said it is one spot but i go on Monday for another Ct scan where they inject dye into your veins and it shows if cancer is any where else in the body. Hoping that it is negitative. Whatever I will go to hospital some time next week for surgery to remove this spot on my lung. Am I scared, yes, but I come to realize that maybe the family doc didn't go about telling me in the right way, he probably has saved my life. The one thing that people should remember is that when sent for test, please go for them, as if something such as cancer is caught in the early stages it can be cured and you can go on with life. If it is in other parts of the body they will still do the surgery then treat the rest with radition and chemo. Which ever I have a long road ahead of me, so if when you say your prayers at night you could maybe say one for me, it would be apprecited, there is power in prayers.
