So I got my CT scan results from last week. Three spots showed up on my left lung. My onc doesn't know what they are.

So now I have to wait for a thoracic surgeon to see me and do a biopsy and they're going…

Feeling daring and made a big purchase
Today I purchased a (used) Jeep. A four year payment plan. I feel rather daring, seeing the Doctors gave me a five year limit three years ago. HA! I intend to pay the full four years (actually, pay it off sooner if I can) and get many, many years of fun in the mountains, out of it. Just thought I would share. Sue - Trubrit
