detail. followup. On my 13 month cancer scan last week they found that a spot in my lung they have been watching for a couple of years is growing. I'm headed to the hospital for a pre-op consultation, whatever that means. Oh, lol, I did not know there was a spot on my lungs, & I did not know they were watching it. I wonder if this is payback time for the carton of cigarettes that an elementary school friend of mine and I stole from a drug store and smoked in one afternoon.

.... now on the bus back from the hostpital:

*  They think it likely it is more of my colon cancer... in the lung now. 

*  Wise to take it out now... so I will.  Three small incisions, they insert a camera, find it, snip it out.  Tentatively scheduled for the 15th... after congress goes back to their holes... I don't want to miss time expressing my contempt for them on the hill this week and next.  And I hate the holidays... our time of special worship of our addiction to stuff... we over-privileged.

*  Over night in hosp recovering... maybe 2 nd nite.

*  The liver DOES NOT GROW BACK!  Huh?  She showed me on the scan... the big cavaty, now filled with bowel... where the liver DOES NOT GROW BACK!  LOL. Communication is NOT the strong suit of these folks.
