The surgeon who originally turned Joe down for surgery has now agreed to do the surgery. On Monday, May 1, 2006 the surgeon told Joe: “This surgery will not change your outcome. It is unclear why the tumor went necrotic like that, how ever, you will not live longer due to removing the tumor from your hip because the lung cancer is so large, your lung has collapsed, and even though you coughed up the many tumors, which is unclear how that occurred, we cannot remove that large tumor and it will only get worse. I will need to give you spinal local anesthesia because you will die on the table if we use conventional anesthesia. This will be a risky and difficult surgery because of your multitude of problems relative to the lung cancer ” Joe was a bit depressed over that. I explained that he never had any experience using my methods, we need to educate the surgeon, as I believe the surgeon truly cares and is not an ego nor self-centered person. I liked this surgeon. I told Joe that his job was to help educate this surgeon Tuesday, May 2, also my parent’s 58th anniversary, the doctor said that Joe’s lung was not showing much air movement and was concerned. However, Joe felt great and he was at 94% , which was good. That afternoon, Joe started coughing very hard. The tumor popped out after strong coughing. It was hard and compacted from being compressed to go through the bronchial passage. It was 1 ˝ +” long, ˝ high almost and inch wide. It was that tumor in the lung which surgery was not an option. It came out and he did not need surgery, it was out. They called for the doctor, nurses said he was gone for the day, and they were not interested, she took it home, took pictures. Wednesday, the surgeon went nuts over it, he clearly said, “In my 25 years as a surgeon, I have never seen anything like this, ever.” He ranted and raved over this, and it was sent to pathology. As of this morning, Tuesday May 9, his breathing is great, plenty of air flow in his lungs, his oxygen is 96%, which is great, and they will remove the hip tumor (which is now basically totally dead) in a matter of a day or so. He basically improved so much that all the major concerns went out the window, the surgeon stated it is now just a simple routine surgery. Remember we are NOT Doctors and have NO medical training.
