Outpatient surgery August 30th
I went in to removed fluid building up in my left lung, which is already 1/3 filled with a tumor that has collapsed my top lobe. I was having a very difficult time breathing to say the least. The procedure involved me sitting and leaning over another higher table. Not much pain they said, at this point I equate things with past procedures, like the bone biopsy etc..They just numb the skin with a wipe on my back, and insert a needle and tube to suck out the fluid, but in the middle I got A shooting pain in my shoulder neck area and then my hip, like a nerve or ?? so I said I could take it for about a couple more minutes, and then that was it, they had gotten enough fluid. I looked over and there was a liter of fluid.....Wow all that was in my tiny lung. The other pain lasted for about 1/2 hr. after the pain med. took hold I was able to go home. I am on pain meds. most of the time to help with the pain in my bones. Resting a lot yesterday and today. Apparently I am one of the rare ones that resist the chemos.
Help me Pray that this Chemo starts stomping out the bug.
Love and thanks from ME
