12/20/2007....I have a date!

I cant belive im saying this! It hasnt really sunk in yet, but i have a date! My date is 12/20/07. As you may have known from my previous posts, i found out through my chest x ray that i had a mediastinal mass. I met with 2 pulmunologists *****fared me to a thoracic surgeon. The thoracic surgeon examined my films and determined that since the mass didn't seem cancerous, it was much safer for me to loose the weight first, and then undergo the surgery for removal of the mass. The mass will be monitored periodically thorugh CT scanns until i loose enough weight that the removal surgery will be safer. This journey thus far has been VERY emotional, but i know its worth it. I am really looking forward to a healtheir happier me! Thanks to god who has made all things possible even if it wasnt on my time! Thanks OH Family for being there for me through it all.
