Did someone speak to soon...

Oh yeah, I think I did.

It's all fun and games until the Thoracic Surgeon see that your thymus is getting bigger.
YOU know what I mean?!?

So, it's back under the knife for me. The good thing is my lungs are clear, that's my biggest worry. The Sarcoma I had moves to the lungs and as long as they are clear I'm doing well.

As for the Thymus, it's grown since the last CT scan. And from what the surgeon tells me that's not what should happen. It seems that the Thymus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymus) does all it's work when we are young and stops around 15 years old. Then is shrivels up and just becomes a little piece of fat under you chest bone. Now it is just a liability and because mine has grown; there is a possibility that there could be a tumor in it. Translation: that bad boy needs to come out!

So under the knife I go. Right now my scheduled appointment is on May 29. And again I'll be at the lovely Cedars. The procedure should take about 2 hours and I'll be at the hospital over night at least.


Now to Sports;
