wow, I must have the worst luck. Spent 8 days in the hospital on a chest tube screaming in pain but t elling myself it would all be worth it since i would be cured. Nope. He came in Tuesday morning, took tube out, told me the cancer was in the lymph nodes, they called me a a cab home and now 2 days later i am sitting here in extreme pain, can't do anything. So i've done all this for nothing. Now i am being sent to oncology since i will need chemo. He says whtever happened to me only happens to 1 or 2 ppl a year...figures. My lung had a micro leak i think. Nothing helped the pain. Changed the shape of my face and my teeth turned sideways from grinding them for a week. this sucks. i started smoking as soon as i walked in the door from the hospital. don't see the point anymore. sitting here and my incision for the chest tube was bleeding, spewing liquids for hours after I came home. Was too sick to know what i was doing to call anyone. Finally called them yesterday, sent them pics and was told, let's wait and see what happens..ok.. let's do that!!
