CMM had to go back down to interventional radiology this afternoon to get a chest tube because he developed a small tension pneumothorax.
He tensioned that quickly from the biopsy? Wow, a simple pnemuo I can see but a tension pnemuo??? I hope his luck gets better. This is both sad, and a little scary, to keep hearing about. Everywhere I turn it seems I hear of a lung CA - and from non-smokers!!!!! That's the crazy part. Just found out the wife of a FF friend of mine was "lucky" enough to need a heart valve replacement and a routine chest x-ray revealed CA. Her's was contained and small enough that they removed the lower lobe of the lung but now she has the chemo and radiation to deal with. I guess it's part and parcel of getting older.
Please keep us all updated KML as I know many of us are following right along with you.
