Yesterday went well. They used a bronchoscope to examine my lung from the inside. They removed a piece of tumor which was was blocking my right lung. This is only temporary because it will grow back, but the extra breathing is wonderful. I forgot how nice it was to take a deep breath.
Now I wait some more. The tissue they removed and a biopsy from my lymph nodes went to a lab. Someone is supposed to contact me today with more information but it's 4pm and I have not heard anything so I am calling.
I know I should be scared, but I feel so good it's hard to feel anything but good. I know it will come back or they may remove that piece of lung entirely. At least I know what to expect with a partly unfunctional lung. There's some good in everything.
For now I am all smiles.
