I have had the bronchoscopy.

I am leaving soon for a pulmonary function test. I will have a referral to Madison about a resection of the left lower lobe of my lung. All they are doing is testing and not treating and I am terrified. I will die before they treat me, even though my cancer has not yet spread.

I was thinking about you yesterday when we did the prayer for healing at the High Holy Day services.

It turned out to be not too bad, but my nodule was benign. I know how you feel though. I didn’t know until they took it out that it wasn’t cancer. Try to keep your spirits up. I know it’s impossible

This waiting and endless testing must be very hard on you. I hope they are coming up with the very best treatment for you.
