My chest xray report is here for those of you medically literate.
Forgive me for not thinking positively but i know too many ACC'ers who start out with several tiny nodules on their cxr's and they are metastases. In addition, i've been through this a dozen times... "oh your lump is nothing... it's just a swollen lymph node"... "oops wrong it's a parotid gland but it's probably just a pleomorphic adenoma"... "oops wrong it's cancer but if we take it out within the next couple weeks you'll be fine"... "oops wrong ACC is nasty and it always comes back". "Surgery will only take a couple hours there won't be any nerve involvement"... "oops wrong it took 7 hrs and you lost a few nerves and have some paralysis". I could go on but i'll stop there for now. Don't want too much of my cynicism becoming apparent. :P
So anyway... until i see results of an old cxr and the results of the one i had done in November and they back up the idea these are just calcifications i will not be convinced.

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
