I have had the bronchoscopy.
I am leaving soon for a pulmonary function test. I will have a referral to Madison about a resection of the left lower lobe of my lung. All they are doing is testing and not treating and I am terrified. I will die before they treat me, even though my cancer has not yet spread.

It turned out to be not too bad, but my nodule was benign. I know how you feel though. I didn’t know until they took it out that it wasn’t cancer. Try to keep your spirits up. I know it’s impossible
This waiting and endless testing must be very hard on you. I hope they are coming up with the very best treatment for you.
