I was at Hoag Hospital for a procedure last Thursday. A scope was inserted in my lungs to take pictures and get tissue samples for a biopsy. Yecch! It sounds really awful. But it is a better alternative to surgery.
The airways in my right lung is constricted and there are nodules in that area as well. There is no evidence of cancer based on the last CT scan and blood test results from my oncologist. But the issue on the right lung has been unresolved and has puzzled 3 doctors. This procedure will hopefully give us a clue on what the problem is.
I was groggy the whole day yesterday and the most part of today. I was under a "twilight" anesthesia and the drowsy feeling was actually restful.
I will have results by Monday.

About Me
- Myrna
- A dragonfly is a creature of the sunlight that pirouettes on sparkling wings. To me, a dragonfly symbolizes our pursuit of happiness, it's in plain sight, yet very elusive. Over a year ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had no choice but to put my life on hold. I tried to pick up where I left off and it was not as easy as I thought it was going to be. And then there's this guy I have been with for eight years, who I thought was sending me flowers for my birthday, but instead.... oh well, that's a different story. This blog is about my effort to re-invent the rest of my life.
