Monday I was hospitalized with severe chest pains. The ER Doctor sent me for an X-ray where they found a mass on my right lung. He then sent me for a catscan of the area and the radoilogist said that the mass was in his opinion too spoungy to be a cancer and they admitted me for pneumonia(sp). In the morning my family doctor came in on his rounds and told me that he thinks that it is cancer. I am hoping that the radiologist is correct and my Family DR is wrong. I will go back for another chest Xray on December 8 to see if the antibiotics they gave me has shrunken the mass. If it has then cancer can be ruled out. I am extreemly short of breath and will only be here at work for a short time and because I donot have a computer at home I wanted to let you know why I might not be posting for a while and to ask for your prayers.
Thanks for listening.

Hello every one. I am about to leave work for the weekend. I go in for the follow up Xray first thing Monday morning. The Doctor thinks that I am going to wait until my appointment on Tuesday to get the results but I will start calling him ten minuets after the Xray. I hope that eventually he will get sick of me calling and tell me over the phone what the results are. Please Keep me in your prayers.
Thank You,
Kaiser

The results of the follow up Xray shows that the mass has shrunk. This would indicate that what I had was in fact pneumonia. I go in for another follow up Xray in three weeks to see if all of the pneumonia has gone. Your thoughts and prayers helped this non smoker make it through this trying time and I know that I would have failed if not for all of the good wishes and incourgement. Izzy, I am happy to hear that your news was good as well and yes I felt the hug that you and HP sent me.
