I Got Some Good Medical News the Other Day... It's NOT Cancer!

[Jer]

I posted this to fb the other day but after posting about my pulmonary embolism scare here I thought some may want to know what else was going on in addition to that little episode.

Many of you know that a few months ago I ended up with a couple of pulmonary embolisms in my left lung. While it was a bit of a surprise & life threatening I bounced back pretty quickly & haven't really looked back.

What most don't know is that we had another scare while in the ER for that. My scans revealed a 1.4cm mass in the area of my lower right lung/liver. At that moment in time we were dealing with the immediate threat to my life so the decision was to give this other situation a few months & then do another chest scan to see what the nodule was doing.

Thursday was that day & I'm relieved to report that the results were that I don't have cancer which was some of the best news I've got in a while.

Thanks to everyone reading this for being a friend even though you probably didn't know what was going on. Your friendship is something I cherish even if I'm not very good at expressing that sentiment.

No doubt. We spent a few months wondering if the blood clots in my lungs were just one of those weird ways of saving my life you hear about from time to time. You know the ones; guy gets in a car accident, hits his head and a scan reveals a tumor which would have otherwise killed him. It sure felt that way but glad it seems like it was nothing.

Thanks buddy! It seems as though it's going to take something more serious than tiny items to take me out.

Good job, I knew you could do it!

Haha... do what? All I did was stand still and hold my breath for a second.

Damn, dude, I had no clue. Glad to hear you're doing better!

I am for sure man. I feel great in fact. Never better!

Nice! Congrats. I'll celebrate your good news with a shot of Buffalo Trace later. Cheers!

Excellent choice.

Bwahaha! Have you heard of The Book of Crossfit and our Lord & Savior Dave Castro?

Indeed. I get to live a little while longer!
