The Doctor entered my room early in the morning and announced, "The testing on the fluid from the lung came back and the markers tested positive for lung cancer."
When I was told this, I immediately went numb. The doctor left the wife and I alone to digest this news. Almost immediately I began to think of my kids, how I wanted to see them grow up, how I needed to be there for them, how much I'd miss them and my wife. I cried, A LOT...
Following this, I had to have a PET scan and an MRI to determine if the cancer had spread beyond the lung.
The good news for the day, by the afternoon the lung had stopped draining, and I was allowed to go home.
