I have high cholesterol and always have. It must be genetic, because I am not overweight. Heart disease runs in my dad’s family, so I wanted to check my arteries. My arteries were perfect, but they found a concerning small spiculated mass.
Due to its location, it could not be biopsied through the throat. I had robotic surgery, and they removed it and performed biopsies while I was on the table. It was cancer. I had a partial lobectomy, and my lymph nodes and surrounding tissue were clear. That CT scan saved my life, as we caught the cancer early. Best $99 I ever spent.
