Towards the end of this past summer, I received a blow that I didn't see coming.  We had been told a year and a half earlier that I was cancer-free.  After this announcement, I was still seeing my oncologist every 3 months.  Before each visit, I would go to the hospital lab and imagining department for tests and blood work-ups.  Two visits ago, towards the end of the appointment, I asked Dr. Reese when I could have my port removed.  He said, "About that, we need to discuss something before we decide anything about the port."  I knew what was coming.  We had been watching a small spot in the lower, right lobe of my lungs.  It had not been changing at all during the past few months, but Dr. Reese told us that it had now grown and was now 4 to 5 times larger.  It had only been about 2mm and was now 1cm.  He told us that I needed to have a biopsy of this growth to see what was going on.     Dr. Reese said he wanted the biopsy ASAP.  If it was cancerous, there would need to be a plan of attack to rid again this ugly foe.
