Next Wed. I will be under the knife to have a mass removed from behind my nose cavity and two tubes put in to promote drainage which will be in for about six months to a year. They will biopsy the mass of course looking for cancer and I'm hoping its negative. Guys no matter what happens its been great flying and fighting with you and I hope to be up and going again soon.

This is what Ms Purple told me to say:

"Get well soon and watch out for monkeys! And don't forget - *HUGS*!"

Guys when it rains it pours. I had a pre-op checkup done and now they have found nodule in my lung from a standard x-ray. He wants me to get another cat scan to check that out. It just feels like he's shitting on me right now, but I know thats not the case.

The procedure was a success I have two tubes in my nasal passage to promote drainage. They are sending the tissue out for test. Hopefully its not Hodgekins or any other type of lymphoma cancer and I can move on with my life and be a good dad I know I am. I am positive even if it is because I know it will be early stage so some chemo and alot of barfing will do me good and get me back in the game.

Good to hear DA, I hope you have a successful recovery.

Already recovered pretty much. Its amazing how far medical advancements have come in ten years. I had a biopsy done with no cutting, just a telescope and a minilaser and the tubes were put in for drainage. Most of the pain is already gone and 90% manageable. Softball can you give me the scoop on Hodgkins disease. I've been looking online but I also want to hear your opinion since you work in the cancer field. Yes I understand that you are not a Doctor but I value what you have to say just like them. I'm not saying thats what I have but from what I read if I do have lymphoma cancer that is more than likely what it will be and in the early stages there is a near 100% treatment rate.
