What's gone on since March 5th, 2008

This is what I have medically had done since my lung cancer diagnosis March 5th, 2008. Some relatively minor stuff has been omitted.


1 needle biopsy (that told it all )
1 media stenoscopy (that confirmed it all)

47 chemo treatments
9 biological treatments
19 various scans (PET/CT/MRI)
2 muga scans (heart)
2 ECG's
Numerous EKG's
2 Portocath installations
1 Portocath removal
3 Lung taps
2 Pleural effusions.
1 Bout with MRSA

The intent of all this is not to make myself out to be the brave hero. But it shows how much people have to endure battling these awful diseases. Oh yea, thank G_d for good medical and disability insurance.

The alternative to all this is not good !

Help someone else to help themselves.
