So that "nodule" that they found on my lung in my chest x-ray..
Edited on Thu Aug-09-07 04:53 PM by MsKandice01
That caused them to postpone my surgery and basically turn my entire world upside down for the past week? Well, the results from the CT scan are in. There is no nodule. They misread my chest x-ray. My lungs are clear.

On the one hand, I want to jump for joy but, on the other hand, I'm PISSED. All of this agonizing, uncertainty, inconvenience (my mom flew here to help me out for my surgery and she won't be able to come back when I actually do have the surgery), all of it...for nothing.

3. My dear MsKandice....
Ah, sweetie....

I'm sorry...

I am glad though, that your lungs are clear...

I'm sorry it took all this fussing to find it out, though...

You are in my thoughts, sweetie...:hug:

4. no nodule is better than lung cancer
anxious moments yes. just goes to show you how subjective reading of radiographic documents is.

glad you're okay

9. It was an elective surgery...
Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin from a 200 lb weight loss.

10. What an experience.
It's great that there was no nodule but there's that week's worth of new gray hairs that you have now.
Argh!
I hope that the planned surgery goes well and that you recover quickly.
