We met with the cardiothorasic surgeon today (who was great) to talk about the lung nodules. There are about 6-7 of them - all small. My oncologists REALLY wants to know whats in there before we start treatment. But the oncologists would also like it the surgeon could clear the lung. So basically we went from a VATS procedure to a thorasic surgery thing which is a big surgery. All this and I have not started chemo yet!!!! My rectal surgery was the 17th, if I do this surgery I won't be able to start chemo for atleast another month - and I can't have this surgery for about 2 more weeks since I have a cold...... Right now I feel so overwhelmed. I want to get started on the chemo!! I am sorry, I just so overwhelmed. We need to talk to the oncologist who is out of until Wed. and we are still waiting ont eh MD Anderson appt. - we should hear something this week! I go from feeling strong to just I don't know
