CT-Scan Scheduled Surgery Update

I have the CT-Scan and chest X-RAY scheduled for today.  This is to determine if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.  Fortunately either way I am still in the 95% survival group.  One bummer with CT-SCANS is that I am allergic to the dye contrast they use.  Basically they put an IV in and take a scan then inject this dye contrast and take another scan.  Then they compare the two scans. 

In order to handle the dye contrast I have to pre-medicate with steriods  13, 7 and 1 hour before the test and take Benadryl 1 hour before the test.  I should get the results back sometime next week.  These results will determine the next phase of treatment.

So far the surgery seems to be healing fine.  No problems there and in a few weeks I will be cleared for all activities.  As it is now I can pretty much do whatever I need to do.  I am holding off from exercising other than walking and lifting heavy objects but outside of that it seems be heeling well.
