I was thinking more along the lines of the Darth suplex on the Foreskin WR.
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

OK.... I am a little tired, but this is what they have found today. I have a 8x4x4 inch mass that is fluid under my left lung... They have to draw some fluid for testing so they can look and see if any cancer cells are involved... another new piece is they found 4 dark spots on my liver that are new and have to be looked at. What that entails I am not sure yet.... Maybe treatments or just a few shots of radiation.... I will found out tomorrow when I see my surgeon and cancer doc.... So I am looking at it as not good news, but not bad yet either... I think my school for OCS is long gone, but I have to look at a much smaller window right now. So hopefully I will be back tomorrow night and give a better or at least more detailed status...

Thanks for all the warm thoughts and posts.. it truly means a great deal.

Man 8x4x4.. that is huge heh? That is a mini football.... Jeez.... well anyways more to follow and thanks a million...

Thankfully it's only fluid, not a solid mass. As for the cause...I wish I knew what to tell you.

Well, OCS may be out, but then you'll get to tell everyone not to call you "sir" since you work for a living. ;D

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,

Well today was a long day at the doc's office for a whole lot of nothing... They did not take a sample of the mass because of complications with being around my intestine.  The surgeon is going to decide this weekend what avenue to take (most likely cut the abdomine and get to it that way) and then Mon he briefs me and Tuesday early morning I go in for the surgery to find out what it is.  They are not going to remove it because of the fear of cancer cells being inside the mass.  So once the report comes back of what it is then I know if it is a long process of draining and eventually destroying the mass or the dreaded C word.  Then I will be hit back up with chemo and this time some radiation... So keeping the faithing and wanting to just have a long drainage process, but prepping for the worst as well...  Thanks again for all the posts and I will let you know what goes on... Right now the pain med is really kicking my butt.   Need some sleep.. take care.

I'll be thinking of you this weekend, Herb...and praying that its not the C word again. :cfhead

Farging doctors are always so agonizingly slow sometimes. I bet if one of their family was in the same situation, they'd be pulling strings left and right to get tests done ASAP.

Herb, you're in my prayers.  Just got a call Friday night that my grandfather is likely in the hospital for good and made the trek up to Reading, PA to see him yesterday.  No one should ever have to go through what he's experiencing right now.
