brm1949 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Had lung wedge resection on May 11. Here's gross description: Specimen consists of a fragment of lung measuring 5.5 x 2.5 x2 cm with the margin of resection closed by metal staples. The free margin has already been cut into and shows a yellowish slightly firm area measuring 1.1 x 0.5 cm. The remainder of the lung parenchyma is pinkish and appears normal. This time it came back negative which I have to say is good news, but I still have an unknown primary somewhere. I know I should be glad but actually I feel like I'm in limbo and still waiting for the hammer to fall. If this was the primary, maybe they would have gotten it all and I would have felt some relief, but now I feel dread of what's to come. Until they find a primary for the lymph nodes that came back positive in my lower neck I feel like a dead man walking. I hate this disease. Please forgive me for venting. This thing works my mind and normally I can beat it back, I'm just so frustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bean_si (Not Active) Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 This has got to be awfully hard - waiting to find the primary. Please know that I am praying for you and sending positive energy out to you. May you feel peace in your spirit and may the Divine bless you with improved health.

Elaine Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Guess I am a little confused. Couldn't the lymph nodes be related to your first primary tonsil SCC? I don't know what the biopsy meant either? Was it all normal lung tissue? I am sorry you are so worried, and I am usually confused anyway, so I will pray that you find the answers.

mhutch1366 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I am praying too that the primary is found and you can have some peace of mind, that the beast is defined and no longer unknown XOXOX Prayers, always MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
