The Dr just called again.

I have a 4" mass around the Carotid Artery and many polups and she said this isn't good, and sent me to the cancer Dr and they just called and Tuesday morning 9 am I have an appointment

Ickie,

Prayers sent your way. Keep your head up, and stay on top of this. You can beat this!
 
Ickie it ain't over until the fat lady sings and I don't even hear her warming up...stay strong!

I just got home from the lung DR, I have a 4 cm not inch mass in my left lung. (and a few small polyps he showed me the scan) Thursday morning he is gonna go in for a biopsy (through my nose) and maybe he will remove it, but he doesn't know until he can see it. scans have been known to be wrong, then I will most likely have kemo. I have a good chance of living since I do not smoke.

Ron,

Still praying for you, but at least the news sounds a little more promising. And as far as Thursday is concerned, I hope your doc is a little more caring than the old expression..."up your nose with a rubber hose."

I had my last cigarette 13 years ago. Some beer on Friday :very_drunk: and Saturday :very_drunk: is all I need....:ernaehrung004:
 
well i am back on planet earth. the biopsy took about 1 hour they did not miss anything.
it took all day to shake off the drugs, lol. I kinda have a small headache. Nov 30 I have a pet scan (woff woff) I will find out what this is then.:mixed-smiley-027:
 
I just got the results of the biopsy yesterday, It is cancer.
I am now being sent to the cancer department for either chemotherapy or surgery.:a1089:
 
Im back now the waiting game ...................................:running:

I dont know if you have a wife or not... but a friend of mine was told by his doctor that he had cancer. His first words were "Doc, tell my wife that the only cure is blow jobs. Daily".

True story.

True story.



And the wife told the doctor, "Doc, tell my husband he's gonna die !!""
 
Keeping you in my thoughts Ron. Hang in there and listen to your physicians. Take care!!!

Ron,

I will request prayers on Sunday at church for you, and keep your head up. You will beat this...you don't have any quit in you. Harness the power of that squirrel!
 
Sorry to hear that Ron. What a crazy month or so it has been. Hopefully breaking your back will ultimately be the thing that lets them save your life by having found the cancer early enough. I certainly hope they are able to do something for you.
 
Hey Ickie,

Sorry to hear the bad news, but as Roadburner says hopefully they have found it early and it can be treated successfully. Cancer treatment has really improved these days, and it can be beaten. Just stay strong and positive and follow the advice given and I'm sure you'll get through this. Just over the past few years I have known several people who have been given different diagnosis of Cancer and they have all beaten it quite amazingly.

Cheers,
