Welp..bad news

Aug 14, 2014 17:03

Just got the results from the bronchoscopy and biopsies.

It is lung cancer. AND some in one lymph node too.

Stage 3, they are saying. But the doctor is optimistic, because I am otherwise "in good shape"
(??)

I am fairly devastated. I am not retired--from anything. I am in the middle of..everything.

I never smoked in my life.

Loma Linda is supposed to be one of the best and most advanced hospitals, but
I am scared that our insurance won't be enough. I know it's not very good, not Aetna nor Blue Cross. Just some cheap company that is through my husband's work.

And that
is why I've been saying I wish we were Canadian. Or hell, living in Europe. :)
I swear, the next person who speaks out against socialized medicine, and says it's not right for the U.S., I might
just literally might
bite them.
