First, I must say that I have the most amazing primary care
physician. Anyone looking for a caring, intelligent doctor who is capable of
translating medicalese into English should see her. Between Dr. Beth Foster and
Clara DeLeon, PA-C, I am well cared for locally; amazing women who know their
stuff.
And a Pancoast tumor is more geographic than anything else,
so yes I have a Pancoast tumor, but it matters more what kind of cancer it is
for the treatment. But as in real estate, location is important. Anyway, I’m
done self-diagnosing.
The mass is larger than I first reported. It is
3.7 x 4.6 x 4.4 cm. But what is a centimeter among friends?
And there are a couple of odd nodules in both my right and
left lung that may or may not be an issue. There is also a nodule on my left
adrenal gland. Could be something, may not be anything…
I will visit with Dr. Daniel, who was Richard’s thoracic
surgeon next Tuesday. Until then, it is wait and wait some more.
Fasten your seatbelts, it’s gonna be a rocky ride!

I never liked rocky rides at the fair, so please let this be a smooth rocky ride. I am glad you like your Drs.
That's good. You should never rely on self-diagnosis. It's much safer to have a professional check up on you, once the symptoms start to creep up. I'm glad you like your doctors. It must be comforting to know that you are in trusted hands. Everything will be fine. Be healthy! :)
