Good News

    So remember those annoying little nodules that showed up on my lung CT a few days ago? Well, they are very very probably NOT cancer or dangerous to me in any way. Yay!!! My doctors went through and looked at all my old chest x-rays, and it turns out my lungs look perfectly clear in an x-ray done immediately before my surgery, and then these mysteriously nodules appear in an x-ray done nine hours later, after my surgery. Since there’s really no way that cancer or an infection could suddenly appear in the space of nine hours, it seems most likely that it’s some sort of foreign matter or debris that got introduced into my lungs on accident when I was intubated. I’ll still get re-scanned in 3 months to make absolutely sure that they’re not getting bigger or anything, but at least that’s one less thing I have to worry about this weekend. Hooray for good news!
