Ok... the surgery went great--the doctor could not have hoped for a better procedure!! :D They were able to take it out in 30 minutes! Amazing what they can do these days!! :D
So I was sore for a few days.... still am but mostly just tired.... I wish that I was completely in the clear but I am still waiting to find out whether the tumor is Typical or Atypical cancer. Typical is what we are hoping for (not that anyone really hopes for cancer but you know what I mean!); if it is Atypical then I will have to go through chemotherapy...... but I'm not worrying... I guess I'm just weird like that sometimes.... My mind set is sort of that I have to just keep doing the best that I can and enjoy being alive.
So other than that I am feeling pretty good---I have a lot of homework to catch up on but no biggie! :P
Thanks to everyone for their kind words!! :D It has helped so much! :D -

Next Tuesday I'll be going in for surgery..... well, hopefully..... Apparently they have to look inside again before they can decide...... sigh.... I just want this friggin thing gone!!!
... Oh, it is about the size of a small grape..well,... actually.... maybe two blueberries side by side (don't ask me why I am using fruit as a measuring device!) and its blocking the airway to my lower left lobe... 14mm in diameter, the picture they took shows the entire airway is blocked except for a very very small hole, thus preventing sufficient airflow....
. . . And all this time I kept thinking I was out of shape!! :P Oh well..... I just hope things go alright... I believe they will.... but.... ... ANYWAY!! No use in worrying!! :D Right?? - 2006-02-09 09:17:05 Will be finding out today when surgery is.....

Well, did the bronchial scope today.... apparently the 14mm thing in my lungs is some sort of a tumor...... I don't think it is cancer.... the doctor was unable to do a biopsy (sp?) b/c it was bleeding too much.... yippee.... :'( So I'm going to have to get surgery as soon as possible..... I feel bad for my mom b/c she has to take care of my dad (slowly doing better from the brain surgery but still seeming lost) and now me........
The intensity of this whole ordeal hasn't really hit me fully yet...... it won't do me any good to worry constantly.....
