OT RE: Me

[Dunk]

I would give this a rest, but it seems some folks have told me that I need to keep posting updates.

The news wasn't good today.

Lung Doc said that I have a sizable tumor in the middle of my left lung.

He also says that it may have already spread to other parts of my chest.

The next step is a biopsy, to examine what type of cancer they think it is.

And how far and fast they think it will spread to my other organs.

I had to sign a waver that I would pay the bill for today, if my insurance don't, because my insurance is screwed up, and has been for a few years now.

I don't really have a Primary Care Physician that is approved, to order the tests, so that they will pay for it.

The Docs office is going to try to help me get that straightened out, maybe I can get that handled by tomorrow.

I have spent most of the day getting my affairs in order, so that I don't have to worry about my family if something happens to me suddenly.

Thank you all so much for your concerns and prayers.

Dunk I don"t post much but I read every day. As a paramedic

medicine cause we don"t have it right yet. Specially docs

Dunkie.....25 yrs. ago I had a cat scan that showed a tumor in my right lung, also. I got another opinion in a DC hospital. Turned out that I was coming down with a cold when the local hospital did the test. DC hospital guys really knew their stuff. Never had a problem since. So, wait awhile before signing over your collections to the kids.

Even though I don't post here too often...

First time I had a problem and posted here you were one of the first to post much needed advice and I want to thank you for your much needed advice.

With that said,
Prayers are with you and stay positive.

 

[prawnfarmer]

Stay positive, fight and concentrate only on what is important right now. There is unlimited potential in prayer. May God bless you.

Dunk: Just saw your upseting report. You can bet that I too will add you to my prayer list. However it is getting so lengthly that I had to drop Zane and Dell!

I firmly believe that when we all get to Heaven we will be with our best friends and loved family and will have a grand old time. Those who want to will go to the temple and split hairs, others will be fishing, hunting, gardening, woodworking, reading and a bunch will be down at the barns working on the tractors. And a lot of those back at the temple will be finding out what they argued about and based their life on really had it all wrong. I sincerely hope you are with us posting another 20 or so years, if this is not to be the case for your or me I look forward to seeing you in the barns.
With Love, Harvey

 

[Walston]

More prayers coming, don't loose faith. They always tell you the worse possible situation so it aint as bad when they know for sure.
