MRI results
The good news is it isn't cancer. At least that is great news and something I was hoping for though they do not know what the two lumps are and one is probably in lymphnode. My CT scan raised some questions because of these increased grey areas they are finding though the area found in 2003 has decreased in size. There are…

Turns out there is a doctor in Tennessee named Dr. Stephen Cantrell and he is having an 80% success rate with curing inoperable…
