Last week I had my pre-op testing, which included a chest xray.

The results came back that I had a "nodule" in my lung. (What the sam heck is a nodule?!) My doctor said it had to be tested further before she could sign off on my surgery.

So, for SEVEN DAYS I've been waiting to get in for a CT scan and get the results back - sweating out a cancer scare, on TOP of all the emotions of this surgery. :cursing:

I was out of my mind, worried not only would I not get a "second chance" at life with this surgery, but I'd be facing a serious illness that would have made the last 6 months useless - that I'd be getting chemo instead of fills ...

On the eve of starting my pre-op diet, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY I got the call from my doctor tonight the tests came back COMPLETELY NEGATIVE - no sign of cancer whatsoever - just an old scar from a childhood respiratory illness. :cool2:

I swear, Bandster Hell will be a cake walk after this harrowing experience. Whew!

Glad it wasnt anything serious!!!

Oh you poor thing...I'm SO glad everything turned out all right! We've had a few similar scares over the past few years and I swear it's just to make you appreciate your life and health even more. Happy pre-op diet beginning! You're on your way! -BG
