C T scan shows 6 cm mass in right lung, amorphous, not appearing cancerous, but will be monitored for growth and eventual excision if it starts to grow.

Breathing is tough, a flight of stairs will flag me, cough is tight, but PFT shows better performance than 10 years ago, even adjusting for age...that exercising has paid off.

No allergic reactions to anything,


Personally, wife could not give a ****, affection died 4 years ago with menopause.

I am tired, at the end of my rope, ready to just seek a bridge abutment with the Porsche.

Is there hope? I fear my throat is screwed as there feels to be constriction.

I will never go to a hospital, I would rather die....what do I ask my doctor to do?

Best just to enjoy life and try not to worry about what could happen. Go to baseball games and hockey, eat hot dogs and drink a few beers, Hang out with old friends, travel, fish and hunt. And take your Porsche out every nice day.
