Cheryl...Just wanted to let you know that I am Carla...not Ken.. He is my
husband that can't turn on the computer... But I set it up in his name for
some unknown reason...
Your story sounds so much like mine. I thought I had the flu and then
pneumonia and then they had my chest x-rayed and found the mass. They
couldn't get a good biopsy of mine though they did two bronchoscopies, as
mine was in the bronchus and right up against the pulmonary artery, so they
were afraid to try other means like the needle to get a biopsy and that is
why the surgery and poof...one lung gone when I woke up! But the good news
is that I woke up...
You sound like you have the right spirit and it takes that to come through
it.... Glad to be getting to know you..... Carla
