 FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY

It came back.

It never really had left.

On Friday October 13, 2017 at 12:01AM I opened a report that was finally posted for a scan that was done a couple days earlier

I always thought 13 was a lucky number for me, and more so when it was Friday the 13th. If this scan was clear, there was an 85% chance cancer was in the rear view window finally after almost three years of dealing with it.

Instead there was this:

IMPRESSION:

1. Since April 2017 new 0.2 cm nodule in the superior segment of the right lower lobe possibly a new metastasis. Suggest close interval follow-up.

2. New retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy.

The lymph nodes were inoperable. Two months things were spreading like wildfire.
