So…

Update

Followup imaging has uncovered an issue which seems to be caught early on, verified via pet;ct scan there is a nodule in the upper portion of my right lung, the one that collapsed that is highly likely stage 1 lung cancer. I’m scheduled in the next few weeks for a robotic right upper lobectomy. Operational theory is that we caught it on time and I most likely won’t need chemo. Prognosis is that I may lose some endurance.

Turns out the PT was probably a blessing of sorts.
