      No freakin' evidence of Melanoma. NED or whatever it's all good.

      The lower left lobectomy was a complete success.  The pathology is better than we had ever hoped for.  As we suspected the only need for the lobectomy was the damge caused to the airway by the tumor location.  There was evidence of necrosis and within a few months the tumor would have been gone, but their was also pneumonias collecting in the lower lobe and a swollen lymph node was putting pressure on the upper lobe.

      After surgery my blood oxygen maintained at or near 100%. 

      I'm at home a bit tired but Oh so Happy. 

      Bonnie Lea… it's time to DANCE.

                                                      Jerry,  I am very happy for you.  I didn't lend you that term with expectations that I wan't it back, I'm hoping that more and more people borrow that baby in days to come.

                                                      I'm jumping around (well kind of tottering with most of the weight on my right foot-due to brain damage) all 200lbs of me!

                                                      Well, not really, but that is what is going on in my head.smiley
