Giant Jack

Macomb County

Sorry I've been gone for five days, but my doctor put me in the hospital on Monday. Where after 4 days of bad food and laying in bed, staring at the ceiling, things don't look nearly as bad as I feared they would.

My lower CTs came back clear. Which was the big fear, how far had the cancer spread. My upper shows a 4 centimeter mass in my right lung and 3.7 in my collarbone lymphnoid.

The only thing they didn't CT was my head. But they probably figured that was empty anyway!

The hopeful news came when the biopsy report came back. It is lung cancer, but a treatable type that responds to chemo. I have a port implanted the left side of my chest to start that next week.

I just want to thank everyone, prayers seem to be working!
