May 19, 2020 I had a pain in my left chest. Turns out that the pain was the birth announcement of my lung cancer, altho at the time I thought that the pain was from a heart attack. Went to ER. After several sortes into the world of medical marvels the lung cancer was accidentally found. Here the lung cancer can be seen attached to the left wall if my left lung. It is the little thing on the lung wall on the right and is just beginning to grow.
Poor little guy only lived for three or four months before we took him out with radiation. In that time he nearly took me out. He grew and nearly filled the entry to the upper lobe of my left lung. And the upper lobe of my left lung. That growth really hurt my breathing. I was really miserable.
On August 7, 2020 the first of five radiation treatments was done. Carefully aimed.
After the first treatment I immediately could breath better. And I have continued to improve. Today (August 27) after two weeks of rehab I will be going home next week. Almost back to normal.
It has been an interesting experience. I do not recommend it. I can almost name the period of most growth of the cancer. Every day for five weeks it got harder to breath. I was so breathless. Three ER visits and check in to hospital in the middle of the night. I can breathe good now but I run out of wind fast. Any extended exertion can lay me up resting for hours before I feel normal.
This is great news!!!!!
