I just got this email from Rkdian: Rkdian wrote: I am not sure how far word has traveled (gossip out-does the speed of light sometimes), so I am trying to make sure no one is left out of the loop.
I have been seeing the dr since early Sept for one thing after another. On Wed, we discovered we have basically been treating symptoms. A CT scan revealed a tumor in my right lung and many enlarged lymph nodes on the left. A biopsy of the nodes was done on Thurs with a malignant result. I see the surgeon again on Wed. He will let me know what type of cancer and the stage at that meeting. He will also refer me to an oncologist at that time. We are not sure what the next step is until then. I will try to get everyone up to speed asap after that meeting.
What I need from all of you is a positive outlook for my recovery through you faith in God. (Yep, that means you have to pray!
) I also need to know someone is watching over the family so I can concentrate all my energy in fighting this battle.You have been a blessing in my life and I thank God for you every day. I love you and I thank you.
