    I am not happy that you have
    I am not happy that you have to go through another surgery again,to me,this is called "frequently", then you have to suffer the pain again.But it is still the best way to get rid of the tumor,then no choices.I think you will be ok.I actually have been praying for everybody on the board everyday,especially for you to have a long and healthy life.I believe in my faith and I am sure you will be fine.Take care.

    Crap
    That is really all I can say. I hope that it is nothing. You have been through so very much. All of you have. I am thinking and hoping it is nothing. Best to you Craig, Paula

    Craig...
    I too agree with Brooks. Scar tissue. Benign little bugger. Prayers are still being said though for both you and Kim.

    I seen that cute little ball of fur in your expressions page. What a cutie!!

    I feel my heart breaking...I know it maybe could be something like scar tissue, or something Benign, but to hear that you may have to go through all that pain again with the DaVinci has got me all choked up, I am tearing up as we speak, you just started work, you just started feeling better, and now this!! If it's not one thing it's another! this cancer can soooooo piss you off!!

    You know I love you brother, and am always here for you. Please don't despair yet, as maybe they will find out what it is before they put you through all that again, maybe a biopsy can tell them something more, and they won't have to do that surgery again. I sure hope so.

    How happy I was looking at that beautiful baby puppy! you have something now to be oh so strong for! and your wife loves you, and even though it's hurtful to hear and see you go through this, we're all rooting for you, that this will be nothing, and if it is, you will get through this, your wife will always be there for you, give her big hugs and love for me, I'll be waiting to hear more on this, and wanting to call you soon!


    Hugsss and Love with a Roarrrrrrrrrrr!!!

    Craig, obviously you would be upset
    with news like this, but I'm on the same wagon as Brooks. Think scar tissue and try not to worry about the C word. It wasn't C in your lungs before and probably not this time either. Mostly because of the speed with which it has shown up. Think positive, as only you can do, and enjoy that loveable little guy you're about to get. He needs your full attention if Golden's are anything like Labrador puppies. They need attention full time!
    Hugs and prayers for you.

    So sorry, Craig...
    My deepest prayers and a great big hug goes out to you. I (like you and everyone else) really hope this is benign.

    Try to keep on rockin' and find joy in your new little one.

    Hugs,

    That is a great description! I too will pray that what they see is nothing but benign.
    You've got a big fan club here, so we are all pulling for you.
    I won't go into all the sappy stuff like how great you are :)
    Now, that puppy is going to keep you super busy! And I am sure he will love you as much as you will love him. We got an Australian Shepard puppy in Sep. and he's nothing but love, energy and trouble! Any tips to stop digging and chewing up shoes is greatly appreciated.
    I know someone up there is looking out for you. Keeping you in my prayers as always. Marie

    God Bless You
    Craig, I always read your posts, you are always there to give everyone support. I am only a caregiver, my husband does not go on this site, so I tell him everything you have been through and how you are there for everyone. You are a true fighter and I do pray for you and everyone else suffering from this terrible disease. I do hope to read later in the month, that everything is all well, and your spot is benign again. Keep your thoughts on that golden ball of fur and when you feel low, just look at his picture, it will make you smile. Dogs are like that. We have 6 dogs and I know they are alot of work, but with out them to keep my husband company all day, I believe he would have really sunk into a depression. You take care and God Bless. Margaret

    I'm Sorry
    I don't know what to say, so soon after this past surgery which I understand kicked your butt pretty good. Well this just sucks. Fingers and toes crossed that this is a benign thing or just scar tissue and they will confirm this without any further surgery. Take Care - Tina

    praying
    Hi Craig,

    I'm praying right now that it will be nothing- maybe just scar tissue from healing. So you're aware, I've heard scar tissue or areas healing can light up on PET scans. So that means to not instantly be upset or alarmed if something does light up. Discuss that possibility w/ your onc ahead of time & how they'd be able to determine the difference. I wonder if MRI would give any more information than the CT did.
    Since it's so soon since your surgery, I think it would be surprising if it were really anything cancerous.

    Focus on that new beautiful puppy you're getting!
    Hope you have a restful night- God bless!

    Lisa

    Dear Craig, wonderful Craig,

    I am so sorry to hear this, I know what a blow it must have felt like to hear this news. You are an amazing, strong man and I like to hear you say things will again settle down for you. We are all with you!!!

    Aloha,

    Craig or is it Graig? ;-)
    Sorry, I can't get that out of my head....

    "There’s a NEW spot on my lung now – much bigger than the other ones just removed, which mercifully were benign. I’m not sure how we missed this during the surgery but with all of the hoopla surrounding that surgery, I guess we just missed it. It was not present on the last CT scan just 3 months ago."

    It sounds to me that you may just be growing these benign things in there.
    I feel for you Craig, I know how it is with one thing after another but you are someone who has the ability to get through this.
    I hope it turns out to be a big nothing and you can return to some sort of normalcy soon.
