Like Kozar, I may be gone for a few days.
I am having fluid drained from my lung. I am scared because there are complications. I have a blood clot on my lung. I will be having lovorox injections for three days before the procedure. The last time they drained my lung, I was in the hospital for three days, on antibiotics to prevent pneumonia. I went home with a lot of anti-pneumonia pills.
I also have two compression fractures which are very painful.
I don't know why the draining of my lung is so important at this time. I don't understand everything that is going on and I am afraid.
I hope to see you soon. I hope I am not dying. I am a lung cancer survivor.

You WILL come through this as well. But please get all your questions answered for your peace of mind.
We're all pulling for you.
If you get the chance, and want to prevent any future possible infections I highly recommend chopped whole Oregano tea, which does what the oil does but without being hard on one's liver. Here's a 1-minute vid using Mexican oregano but any oregano will do.
Until you're back home, I hope your medical people treat you well so you're better.
very qualified doctors watching out for you. And you have all your friends here on DU! I wish you the best!
I wish this wasn’t online so at least some of us could be in the waiting room while you’re taking your treatment.
From one cancer survivor to another.
I hope all goes well.
