About 2 years ago my husband was diagnoses with lung cancer (yes, he was a smoker). They found a growth outside his lungs and part of his right lung was filled with liquid and had closed off.

We were expecting the worse. There is hardly any treatments for lung cancer. A surgeon went in and took piece from the growth and from the lung. He did NOT have cancer. It was all benign, caused by pneumonia.

It was like the world was suddenly filled with light and happiness. I was almost giddy with relief.

Have the doctors been able to figure out what was wrong? I'm guessing you must have been experiencing some sort of symptoms that caused you to visit your doctor?

For your kind and warm messages of support. I was very surprised at the love you've given me. The last few weeks have been hard on me and very stressful for me.

I'm not out of the woods yet, still have a couple of more procedures to go through but the worse of it is behind me. You all are so very wonderful. Bravo.
