They found a spot on one of my lungs.

Recommended Posts

A pre-operative doctor's appointment (I'm having a knee replaced on Tuesday) revealed a couple of dark nodules on one of my lungs.

I quit smoking between 15 and 20 years ago, and while I understand that it puts my at a slightly higher risk, I'm more concerned about the number of grain bins I've cleaned out over the years.  

That grain dust would absolutely wreck me for a few days.  And I know we did a few bins that contained some moldy grain, possibly tainted with aflatoxin.  I rarely wore a mask.  I'd hack stuff up for days and days.

We set up a CAT scan tomorrow.  Wish me luck.  

And say a prayer, if it suits you.  

Please.
