The doctor missed it

Hi everybody,was feeling good late Monday and Tuesday, then at 8am this morning the oncologist at Hershey called to say that the scan shows that I have lung cancer, they had a team meeting and did whatever they do and confirmed that a grey area was cancer. I am being scheduled for a biopsy, don't know when but right now I am zonked, going through every emotion possible. I got an e-mail from his Nurse that said that if it was a new cancer it was caught early.

    So sorry to hear the Bad news
    I am praying the biopsy comes up negative. I know the emotions are all over the place. When they told us Jim now had lung cancer I lost it. Since that time (6 months ago) my emotions have run all over the place. Jim seems to be holding up better than I but he tends to keep it inside.

    Keep up the fight.

    A Lot of Us Here Cursing
    This has to be an insane time for you - I'm sorry you're in this spot. Just because you CAN beat this doesn't make it OK that you're in a place where you have to.

    Thanks
    Thanks for all of your prayers, they are much appreciated. Yes it is a dreadful feeling, I feel worse about this that the original throat diagnosis. Not sure how the doctor missed it, I was in the room with him on Monday as he went over the scan, he pointed out the nodule and said it was absolutely nothing to be concerned with. I don't know if he looked hard enough at anything else, will ask. I have questions for him that I did not think about when we talked on the phone, if you can advise me of any questions I would be most thankful. Denis
