My Lung Lump Biopsy (a sample of my lung and a sample of my blogging soul)
Based on the fact that I am writing this in the hospital after the biopsy, I can now say my lung lump is not a gateway to another dimension, ready to release netherworld mammals. I can also say that spending time in a hospital is great for perspective on the reasons why we blog.
Pictures of my lovely lung lump
As I commented previously, my lovely lung lump was to be assessed by a third opinion of the radiologist. This third opinion was decidedly indecisive as well, so I have made the call to get what they call a biopsy. For the uninitiated (to whom I belonged not so long ago), a biopsy is when they stick a needle in you and get a sample, like the counter girl at Baskin Robbins reaching into the chill box for a sample of ice cream. Only without all the flavors.
