lung butter

well... ...

talked to my oncologist today, remember the little tiny spot in my lung that was too small to do anything with? It has grown (a lot) and has several new neighbors along with it. the spot was 2 mm in march and is now 2 cm, and there are several other new spots as well.

my current coverage through a county aid program expires on august 10th and will not be renewable, so my oncologist is scrambling to get me in for a needle biopsy. this sounds like a normal fun thing to try, i will have a needle inserted all the way into my lung where the tumor is and they will remove a small portion of the tumor for a biopsy. then we will know for sure what it is .... ... could it be anything other than more of the same cancer that has shown up 6 times elsewhere in my body? i honestly don't know, but i can't imagine anything else at this point.

i just wonder at this point ... what would sponge bob do?
