The Markers in Lung Nodules are in place

Dr. Seigel, at Brookwood, placed the markers in the lung nodules this past Friday. He explained the entire procedure to me and Mama. He explained it so well that Mama didn't have any questions, that made me laugh. She always has questions!!

There are 3 nodules and he was able to treat two of them as one, meaning he only placed one marker for the 2 nodules at the base of the lung. The other nodule has its own marker.

I was extremely lucky there was no pneumothorax (no puntcure in the lung). That was one of the risks. Another risk is the markers could move from where they were placed.

I will see when I go get scanned on Monday, 9/21. If everything is in place and everything looks good, they will plan the treatment. So I should know that week when the CyberKnife will start.

Thank you all for your prayers.
