Hey my Doctors say that I saved my own life. I was feeling poorlywent in doc took exray found spot on left lung, he wanted to wait 3mos. And look again didn't sit well with me it was like someone telling me not to listen to him. So I called my other doctor he sent me for c-scan then he sent me to Indiana /Ohio heart had surgery was cancer took lower lobe left lung, two weeks later lung collapsed full of infection had 2nd. surgery spent month in hospital. Now 3years no more in lungs, did get breast cancancer last year but it was stage 1, still going and looking over my shoulder feellike the c-word is there somewhere waiting. I know I sound paranoid, because I am.
