what a great site this is!!! wish i had found it sooner. i'm not sure how to do this profile thing. but here is the info
middle of june had chest x-ray
then CAT
then PET
then needle biopsy
on July 3rd was informed by me doctor that I had undifferentiated carcinoma 1.7x2.5 in size
it appears to be stage I but they will finalize staging following node biopsy during surgery.
first I met with surgeon in Rochester NY who planned on during open chest surgery--I really wanted the VATS so I traveled to Buffalo as no surgeon is doing VATS lobectomy here.
surgery is scheduled for Aug 10th at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo NY.
i'm 62 have 3 sons 3 daughter-in-laws, 5 grandchildren, and two more due (one in 7 days) a really nice man in my life who lives in Baltimore. 3 Dogs, 2 cats (one who just had his leg amputated) Today I feel wonderful, life is real good, and i plan on it continuing to be so!
