Update on my medical condition: [View all]

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036153011 for those who might not have seen my original post.

This week will see me undergoing two very important tests. The first one is tomorrow and the second is Wednesday.

The official name of tomorrow's test is: NM Myocardial Stress Pharmacologic Perfusion Spect.
It has two parts and they will both happen tomorrow.

I have really no idea what they will do with me during this time. My cardiologist thinks I'll do great and I so hope he's right.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. If I'm successful tomorrow, then I will most likely be able to have the surgery that will remove the cancer from my right lung. Of course I need to pass the second test too, but that's not as daunting.

The official name of Wednesday's test: Pulmonary Function Testing
Again, I'm not sure what they will do during this test, but this one looks easier.

If I should fail one or both of these, then I won't be able to have surgery to remove the cancer. Instead, I would undergo chemo and radiation to cure me. I really don't want to go this route, but of course, I will if I have to.

There's a lot riding on these tests. Please hold me in your thoughts as I pass through this time.

As before, I won't be able to respond to your responses. Once I've read what you wrote, I will give you a rec to let you know that I appreciate your good thoughts and comments.

Thanks to all of you!
