April 24th 2009. Lets try this again. What is this new beastie?

Dr. Ashiku decided that the only way to really know for sure was to do a surgical procedure called a mediastienoscopy. This is where he will make a surgical incision at the base of my neck right at the crook of my sternum. They plan to put me under for this. After the bronchoscopy putting me under is definitely the way to go!!! He planned to go in and cut out pieces of tissue the old school way and ensure that good samples were obtained. He was successful and good tissue samples were retrieved and sent to pathology. A couple of steristrips and a two inch new battle wound and I was good to go. Time to wait again.
