Four year lung cancer survivor here!

I have Asthma, emphysema and then got lung cancer on top of that. But Dr. Ross of Ohio State University Cancer Hospital used a new microscopic way of operating and took 14Th of my left lung where the cancer was.

The normal way was to cut you all the way from the back to the front. But Dr. Ross’s new procedure only left me a 3 inch scar on my side and a scar about the size of a quarter where the drainage tube was.

If not for God’s blessing me, the Ohio State University Cancer Hospital and Dr. Ross, I would have died back in 2006.

So far so good. Dr. Ross did tell me that the biopsy of the part of my lung that he removed showed 3 cancer cells right next to where he cut and that even one cancer cell on the other side, the side in me, could spread the cancer again. But after four years I think I’m safe.

It will be the Asthma or Emphysema that get’s my butt.
