My cancer battle.

After 4 days in the hospital I am home again. Post op recovery was horrible as I had a violent reaction ever seen by the University of Missouri staff. They removed two tumors and left in two to monitor as they were too difficult to get to right now. Also, had a as of yet unexplained stroke like event that has cleared up. The battle rages on.

Hello,

I'm still kicking and back to work, but at half speed. Still have no lung volume and still have not identified the mass in my right lung. I can feel it from time to time. Life changing not being able to get a full lung of air, I have a hemi diaphragm so my left lung is not working and my right lung is diseased. GREAT! Doc's are afraid to do biopsy for fear of collapsing good lung or cutting out the lung that is providing my 38% lung function. This came out of the blue for me right after surgery and we believe it is not related to the Medullary Thyroid Cancer. Sounds like Lung Cancer but we are waiting for someone to make a move. Getting a second opinion at Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis. If I'm right about lung cancer, sounds like it will kill me before the damn thyroid cancer. What a head fake. lol

Note to the healthy, get some term life insurance outside the Federal service because once you can not work you lose the benefit. Service member should continue the Serviceman's into Veteran's life insurance. Odds are you're going to see illness and you got to cover you families. Max out the 5 multiple on the Federal life insurance and remember there is a "living benefit" that if you are told you have 9 months or less to live you can request the basic portion of the policy. Also, if you can not work you can request LWOP for up to a year and the Feds pay the benefit premium, at least it is that way for USPS.

I feel okay but can't go running, the battle continues.

Good to hear from you friend.
