Thanks to your prayers and those of others, and my doing what my grandmother Reba would have done and turned in over to God to handle, I have, at this point, no cancer. The biospy was negative at this point. Surgery, for surgery's sake, is not recommended due to the location of the lung mass and the problems that can be created from such surgery. So, the plan now is to have a cat scan every four months for the next 1 year to 2 years. If there is any movement or growth then surgery immediately is to be done as it will mean that there is cancer present. Thank you one and all for your prayers. They are and were very much appreciated. Jim
