The Begining of my Journey

I guess this will be a brief catch up of all that has been going on in my life. Back in July I began to feel something was not quite right with my body. I did not feel bad. I was not sick. I just felt something different. I was having some chest pain, dizziness, nauseau, but nothing really painful and nothing that kept me from doing what I wanted to do. I did get tired awfully easy but after the move I felt that was just to be expected.

I finally decided it was time to see the doctor and saw my family doctor on 9-25. He immediately did an EKG and determined my heart was fine. He sent me the next day for lab and chest xray. The xray did show something so on 9-28 I was having a CT scan. By 10-1 I was already seeing Dr Adams at the Arlington Cancer Center. He had my xrays and CT and said he was 99% sure it is lung cancer. He sent me for more xrays, lab work and set up an appointment for a biopsy. They were able to do a needle biopsy and this was done 10-18. We
will know the results by late 10-23.

I am fine! I have placed all this in God's hands to guide my doctors and know what ever His will, He will lead me through it. I do know if it is beatable, I CAN beat it. I have wonderful family and friends whom I can count on for support! With my doctors, God and you, how can I fail?
