Thank you, Lillian. You mentioned that you were surprised the cancer spread
so quickly. Actually, my symptoms have been so "vague" that I probably went
for years without being taken seriously, even by myself. The only reason the
lung mass was found was by chest x-ray, as a precaution. The initial tumor
was found after I got sick and tired of being sick and tired of constant
chronic sinusitis. One side of my nose was obstructed by inflammation by the
time I found an ENT that would see me without a referral, and he noticed the
neoplasm while correcting my deviated septum and removing inflamed tissue. I
wish you luck with your possible tumor, and will keep you in my prayers.
And, yes, the hospital I am traveling to is excellent, but I think their
expertise is in radiation, and not necessarily a cancer center as such.
After the radiation round, I may look in to a more multidisciplinary type of
center, like MD Anderson.
