my PET scan is clean other than neck. Good. CT shows some nodules in the lungs. ENT asked, ‘where did you grow up…Yeah he says…”this is common in the Beaver Valley. nothing to be worried about.” Making shit tons of steel back in the day does have a cost. these are benign and not worth further comment. i saw them. so faint, barely there…and then i reminded him that i hd pneumonia 8 times and was ICU’d twice….oh, he says. that makes sense too. i quit getting sick/bronchitis/pnuemonia 8 years ago…stared taking zertec on august 31 and kept taking it until the first freeze…avoid the black mold of rotting vegetation. for years i got sick at EXACtlY the same time every year.

my case us a t tumor board monday, med onc tuesday, ENT wedenesday…surgery just after that with chemo/rads.
