4/5/11 CT scan of my lungs showed post-surgery scarring but NO SIGNS OF CANCER.

11/22/10 – Looks like I will have chemotherapy after I’ve healed from surgery. We’ll be setting the date for surgery as soon as possible.

11/17/10 – Today we visited with the thoracic surgeon. He described what the surgery will entail that will remove the two small nodules in my left lung that were found to be cancer. If you’re in the medical field, it’s this: A thoracotomy with two wedge resections with the possibility of cyber knife radiation on one of them if he can’t get to it after all. For the rest of you: An incision under my shoulder blade, the moving and cutting of things that astounds me as something a person can bounce back from, and a few days in the hospital to recover. *The date’s not set yet. *And we still don’t know if or when I’ll have chemotherapy.

11/10/2010 – Got news that synovial cell sarcoma has recurred in my lungs. We’re waiting to discover the prognosis and the plan, although we believe the former is good.
