words, just words

Words are such interesting and powerful little suckers. Take, just for example, the words "lung" and "nodule". Independently, they may not do all that much for you. Put them in the same sentence, in a call from your oncologist's office, with a history of breast cancer and they can pack a pretty good punch.

So the news is lung. nodule. right. side. Could. be. scar.tissue.

I sicced the doctor's office after a CT I had at another hospital back when I was first diagnosed. Since I didn't have this oncologist at that time, they didn't even know about it. How could they?! Once that gets in, the doc will have a compare and we'll just see. The prescription (without the comparison photos) is to redo the CT in 3 months. Until then, I try to keep in mind that they are just words.
