Me? Blogging?

Strickly by chance my family doctor did a chest x-ray on me on April 2nd and found a spot on my left lung.  He sent me the next day for a CT scan and then to a surgeon the next week.  After a lot of tests, etc I was admitted to the hospital last Friday, May 1st and had most of my left lung removed.   The doctor is sure he got all the cancer (and YES it was non-small cell carcinoma) and none showed up in my lymph nodes.  I was in the hospital for a week – finally got to come home yesterday.  Now I have to heal and in a month I’ll meet with an oncologist.  I’m hoping I won’t have to have chemo but if I do – I’ll deal with it.   Needless to say – as of April 17th I no longer smoke!  Charlie quit over a year ago so I was the last holdout.
