Thats 11 days you have to sit on the edge of your seat. Personally, and I am not known for patience, I would lean on them to work you in sooner or go ahead and refer to surgeon or oncologist.

That said, i will tell you that your tumor is the same size mine was a year ago. We had watched it grow slowly for four years. Mine was left lower lobe and the thoracic surgeon did a lobectomy. i get repeat CTs every 6 mos, so far so good.

This could be better than you fear. Id focus on getting answers sooner.
Is there family who can help with your Mom’s belongings so you can focus on yourself?

Thank you. No, I am all alone. I didn't even have a car. Driving my mom's small 2 door car. Spent 6 weeks trying to haul her stuff here, sell it, whatever. I finally just had to turn the apartment over with everything left in it--clothes, furniture, most all. They just backed a dumptrump up and threw perfectly good stuff into the landfill. That hurt me.
Now my house I was trying to declutter with all my crap is dangerous to walk through and I needed back surgery so now I am stuck with all this chaos that causes chaos in my head. A huge yard I can't take care of now due to the back. No money to hire people. A house mom left me--well, she had no will, so I spent wks studying probate law to try to do it myself. The house is not in my name yet, I don't have the bank accts she left. Taxes are unpaid because I can't get to her accts yet. Being tagged by the city for high grass. Just a grand finale it seems of a miserable life. Have no idea what to do with all this stuff of hers and now dealing with this health of mine. Just unbelievable. I do not have money for any of this. Just deflated and hopless.

Good to know you had a good outcome with the size of yours. I am reading all these ppl who have smaller ones than us with so many problems. It is just overwhelming. I have been in shock now for 2 months I think between mom's death, what she did by leaving no will and now this.

thanks for sharing that with me. Julie
