I get a vena cava filter and (hopefully) get the blood leak in my left lung fixed.

I've been fighting this for 7 years.......

Prayers,please.

They kicked me out early...I'm home.
The procedures went well with no problems and no surprises.Doc THINKS he got the bleeder blocked off.The bad news is that is entirely possible for the body to "heal" itself and form a bypass around the blocked artery.I should know in a few months.
 The filter is in place and I have high hopes it does what it should.

 SHIT!!!!!!!  Just now got a phone call that I need a PET scan........they evidently found cancer cells in the biopsy.......crap.......

   GOOD news: Biopsy showed no evidence of malignancy.......but I'm getting a PET scan Friday just to be sure........
I'm still coughing up a little blood but it's not gushing like it did before.(yes,that is scary)

PET scan is CLEAN.......no sign of cancer!!!!

You'll be fine.  If it is cancer just think of all the money you will save on toilet paper while they have the temporary bag in place....



Mom had to have surgery to remove part of her colon due to cancer a little over a year ago.  All is well now.  And you'll be fine but I'll keep you in my prayers anyhow.   Little extra has rarely ever hurt anyone.

Hey brother, shoot me an IM when you get home. I'll try to swing on by, since I'm 20 minutes down the road.  

I'm a horrible neighbor.

I'm not much better.  I'm about 30 up the road from him and most nights I'm paid to ride around the county.  Though he never has actually told me where he lives.  Think he is scared the poo lease might show up down there.

I'm tired but feeling pretty good.I did the PET scan yesterday but don't have the results yet.
I think they FINALLY got the bleeding stopped in my left lung.Lord,I coughed up blood for 3 weeks.
In a week's time I had 2 bronchoscopies,a bronchovascular intervention and a vena cava filter "installed".
For the first time in a month I can LAY DOWN and get some sleep.

 Thanks for asking,folks!!!!
