well,  no surprise at this point.  Went for pre-op testing and had blood-pressure and heart rate, weight check.  Then had a discussion with a nurse.  She added to my medical record, and told me what I should and should not take for meds.  Heart rate was a bit crazy at 101.  Bp 139/74...very high for me.  I'm just floored and stressed lately.  

no x-ray or ekg or anything.  

I think the cancer is the least of my worries...

    You will be relieved...

    ...once the cancer is out of your body.

    Consider taking 400mg over the counter Cimetidine twice a day. Many say that it lowers the chance of the cancer spreading during surgery. Take it for 2 weeks after surgery. 

    Good luck with everything.
