On Tuesday, I spent 6 hours in the ER at St. Lukes for chest pains, head pains and shortness of breath. They did an EKG, chest X-Ray, CT scan and blood work. My heart is fine and there were no clots. The X-Ray and scan showed up a mass on my lower right lung though.
The ER doc gave me a script for pain and scheduled a Thorax CT scan. I had that done on Wednesday. Today I got the results and my doctor is sending me to a Cardio/Thoracic surgeon. The mass needs to be biopsied and can't be done through the skin. They say it is non-cancerous. The mass is on the outside of my lung, next to the pleura (lining). I'll find out Tuesday how they plan to get to it to do the biopsy.
