That's what they found on my chest x-ray. I can't tell you if he said it singular or plural, because as soon as I realized he was saying they found SOMETHING on the x-ray, I kinda zoned out and didn't hear every word he said to me. He said the spots are 3-4mm in size. It is possible it is just scars from certain air that I breathe in, being there are a lot of chicken farms around here. That would be nothing to worry about.
Before I go any further, I have been in Arkansas for 7 1/2 years. I've seen ONE chicken coop in the area. Quite a few chicken trucks, but only one coop in this area. I also don't spend as much time outside as I did when we first moved here.
Anyway, it could also be cancer. I have to go for another chest x-ray in May, and then a follow-up with my doctor. He wants to see if the spots are getting any bigger. I do the same thing again in November. We did not discuss anything else about the future, just the x-rays and I guess we will go from there.
On the bright side, my stress test came back fine. My heart is strong. They actually clocked me at 9 minutes 47 seconds on the treadmill. Once I quit smoking, and I start exercising, maybe I'll go back and try to hit the 10-minute mark. HAHA! No!

Welcome to the (at times not so much) wonderful world of ME, a big steaming pile of (take your pick of words, insert here). There are times I may (try to be) funny, there are times I'm sincere. Sometimes I end up being both without even trying. But you're here, so I hope I can keep you entertained enough to come back for more.
