i worded that badly,, i have an appointment for a catscan today,,,later this morning..

i have another appointment on the 7th for and bronchoscopy and biopsy on 3/7

and an apointment on 3/14 to find out what is up and what will be done about it.

funny, clean x ray and mri,, then i quit smoking and 2 months later , lung cancer
saw an article couple days ago about nicotine blocking the lung cells receptors that covid attaches to and uses to enter the cells.

covid is what wrecked my lungs to begin with though the docs refute that. but i had no problems breathing till right after i got over the covid then my breathing got whacked,, so my lived experience contradicts them.

i mentioned this to my doc and asked him if my smoking is what was kept the cancer from forming and was told cancer takes years to develop.

yet xray, catscan, mri ( i had chest pains so doc had these done ) were clear before i quit smoking.

then 2 months later 1 cm tumor grows in left lung within 2 months of quitting smoking.

im having a hard time trusting my doctors.

I had an MRI a couple months ago. Checking for prostate cancer. Clean so far....................

“2 months later 1 cm tumor grows in left lung within 2 months of quitting smoking.”

Some years ago I read an article by a doctor about how he noticed that many smokers who quit seemed to develop lung cancer in the 6 months afterward. He also had a theory about why this might happen. Anyways I asked my own doctor about this but he poo pooed the idea. I still think there might be something to it.

Maybe I can at least try to bring a smile?

and an apointment on 3/14 to find out what is up and what will be done about it.

Pi Day is the day designed to reverse into something good!

Coincidence? I think not.

And wouldn't you know, 1961 itself is an upside-down year!

Remember what famous event happened on Purim that year, on March 2?

That's the day the aliens made contact. The intergalactic refugees.

It's always something!

Purim is the quintessential holiday to celebrate a "flipped over story" eucatastrophe, so it flips right in.

Hang in there!

Good luck with your health.

“Everyone” knows that smoking causes cancer. That includes doctors. It’s very hard, usually impossible, to get anyone to think outside the box on matters that have received so much propaganda.

I grew up with the expression “everyone can’t be wrong.” I see it differently. When everyone knows something, no one has to think. Everyone is always wrong.
