Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Ok, I now know I have adenocarcinoma. Don't have the exact type yet. They only have preliminary results. Lung and liver is all I know so far, don't know how bad, but bottom portion of right lung. RSD is getting worse already. They don't know if I can do hyperbarics with chemo. Can deep sea divers continue to do that when they have lung cancer? I will have to find out. I will have to have the fluid drained from my pleural cavity again. Probably within 2-4 weeks. Yuck! Last time was 1.3 liters of fluid. Back still hurts. Still coughing sometimes from the lung expanding again. The cold air almost did me in today and yesterday. Hurts to cough. Friday I do a PET scan of the chest and abdomen, Sat. I do an MRI of the brain. Tuesday P.M. my oncologist is back from his trip and the test results will all be in. Chemo will probably start before the end of the month. Don't know exact type yet. Will know a lot more Tues. late afternoon. Don't see him until 4:45 P.M. and probably won't be home until after 7 P.M. Sounds like I have a busy schedule coming up. Continue those prayers, please.
