My scan [View all]

I had my scan for lung cancer changed to an annual scan. My most recent scan shows only scar tissue in the bottom of my lower left lobe. I have been cancer free for four, almost five years. The clinic has released me as cancer free.

However, I now have an enlarged heart. I have an echocardiogram next week. As Gilda Radner said, "It's always something."

I will get this treated and move on. There are things to be done.
