Ok folks, update time. First, some may be confused. The original diagnosis from a coue of weeks ago was emphysema. I don't have it. This is stage 4 lung cancer.
For the good news. It's treatable. I went to radiation oncology today and got my radioactive spider bites, tiny black tattoo'd dots to mark where they are to shoot me with the radioactive laser beams. Radiation starts tomorrow. The goal is to open up some Passages and improve function in that lung. There will be 5 treatments. We move to chemo from there.
This is the extent of what I know at this time but that changes from hour to hour.
Thank you for all the prayers
Kevin.
