Post by daofcmacg »

Next Wed. I will be under the knife to have a mass removed from behind my nose cavity and two tubes put in to promote drainage which will be in for about six months to a year. They will biopsy the mass of course looking for cancer and I'm hoping its negative. Guys no matter what happens its been great flying and fighting with you and I hope to be up and going again soon.

This is what Ms Purple told me to say:

Guys when it rains it pours. I had a pre-op checkup done and now they have found nodule in my lung from a standard x-ray. He wants me to get another cat scan to check that out. It just feels like he's shitting on me right now, but I know thats not the case.

The procedure was a success I have two tubes in my nasal passage to promote drainage. They are sending the tissue out for test. Hopefully its not Hodgekins or any other type of lymphoma cancer and I can move on with my life and be a good dad I know I am. I am positive even if it is because I know it will be early stage so some chemo and alot of barfing will do me good and get me back in the game.

Already recovered pretty much. Its amazing how far medical advancements have come in ten years. I had a biopsy done with no cutting, just a telescope and a minilaser and the tubes were put in for drainage. Most of the pain is already gone and 90% manageable. Softball can you give me the scoop on Hodgkins disease. I've been looking online but I also want to hear your opinion since you work in the cancer field. Yes I understand that you are not a Doctor but I value what you have to say just like them. I'm not saying thats what I have but from what I read if I do have lymphoma cancer that is more than likely what it will be and in the early stages there is a near 100% treatment rate.
