I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR WHAT THE SURGEON SAID

Editorial Summary

Dawn provides a medical update following a recent consultation with her surgeon regarding her ongoing health battle. She discusses the complexities of treating two spots on her lungs, noting that while one is a simple surface procedure, the other is deep and may require the removal of an entire lower lobe. This presents a significant risk to her existing lung capacity, which is currently at sixty-five percent. While radiation was considered a potential alternative for the right lung, the situation became more complicated when a PET scan revealed potential issues in her pancreas and thyroid. These findings were not present in previous CT scans, leading to a period of uncertainty. Dawn explains that she must now undergo several diagnostic tests, including a thyroid scan and a pancreas MRI, to determine the nature of these new findings. She concludes by stating her commitment to following all medical advice and treatments, expressing a desire to focus on her future travels and cruises while waiting for her upcoming test results.
