I do believe we take more drugs than are necessary.

How ever I was diagnosed with lung cancer.

I had a small spot in my left lung.

My yearly check up a few months earlier showed nothing.

. I went to my pulmonary doctor for my once a year check up with him, two months later told him I seem to be having a lot more mucus than usual for my allergy .

He asked about my x-ray from my yearly checkup with my primary doctor and i told him it was clear as it has always been.I kind of wanted not to bother with it because of the inconvenience of having it to be done as an out patient, even though it only took about twenty minutes

However he asked me to just humor him because he just felt like it needed to be done just as a caution.

Thank God he did. It showed a small spot on my left lung and the biopsy said cancer.

A brilliant surgeon operated on me two weeks two days ago removed the part of the bottom of my left lung and went home the following Tuesday five days later and have been walking around in my yard and at home since.

he used a procedure that did not involve opening my chest or cutting through any muscle.This greatly reduces hospital time and pain. I go back to these doctors this coming Monday for my follow up.

My surgeon said we were blessed that we caught it early and everything around the spot he removed looked clean and the three different tests run on the area surrounding the spot were clean and looked good and it had not spread to the lymph nodes.

If I had not let the doctor satisfy his feeling it would have been almost a year before anymore x-rays.

I don't see how herb medication could have found it and I don't know of any herb that will cure.

Yes there are some bad unscrupulous doctors as there are bad, carpenters, politicians, policemen, mechanics, preachers etc. etc. but there some fine, dedicated ones who spend years in long endless hours, educating themselves med schools and internships to practice their calling and the good ones don't do it just for the money.

Those are the real doctors who have earned, deserve and should have the Dr. in front of their names and the prayers of their patients.

Wow thank God they found it, I am really glad for you. I had FOUR of my close friends die from that and very fast because they avoided doctors, in other words by the time they saw one it was too late. That is why I am so militant about healthcare reform. So many people avoid the doctor because they don’t want to be strapped financially and that garbage has got to stop because people literally are dying because of it. I consider Obamacare a terrorist attack on our country because you can bet it cost American citizens their lives and a lot more than the amount that died on 911. My brother for example has no health insurance now because he can’t afford it so what happens to him if he gets sick or if he even wants a check up? He is screwed. For example he is 53 and he wants a colonoscopy but it will cost him around $1,500 cash. He can’t pay that, that’s a months rent for him and he is self employed where business can be slow at times and he needs to survive on savings in lean times. Meanwhile we got freakin’ ILLEGALS getting FREE healthcare that is directly financed by the taxes HE pays!!! It’s beyond the beyond in outrageous!! He literally can end up losing his life because a bunch of freakin’ leftist PUNKS wanted to destroy his healthcare and give it to illegals! If there is ONE thing Trump does, I really hope he repeals and replaces this garbage and that Paul Ryan can go straight to hell with this Obamacare lite crap. Why Trump endorsed that guy is beyond me, after Ryan stabbed him in the back so many times.
