Thank you April. I really appreciate you word of encouragement. Surgery is set for Oct 11th. Going to try to do robotic but if the mass is still resting on the rib and won't move, then they will move forward with open surgery. Although I havent had a CT scan in a several weeks, to me it feels like it has moved away from the rib. (pain there was how it was discovered in the first place). Now it feels like it as moved closer to the middle of the lung. I am just hoping that it doesnt mean that it has grown larger rather than moved. 🙁
