I looked up "adenocarcinoma" and it seems to mean a cancer from
glandular tissue, such as the prostate.  Maybe I have mets to my chest
lymph nodes, lungs, or both?

Last summer, a CAT-scan picked up "something" in my chest, lungs or
maybe lymph nodes.  The docs have been tracking this.  That's about
the same time my PSA started up.

Last year, I had a couple more scans, an MRI, and conventional X-rays,
each time, they said, there's something in your chest.

Parallel to that, the rad-onc was getting more worried about the
rising PSA but said, mets usually go to the bone, like the spine and
not to the lungs or lymph nodes.  He said it has happened but it was
unusual.

In February, I had the worse asthma I've ever had and went back to the
pulmonary doc.

The team, pulmo, rad-onc, and internal medicine, sent me for a
mediastinoscopy to recover a snip of a lymph node.  That's where we
are now.

I'll get the path report next Wednesday.

I still have a touch of the asthma and am taking ADVAIR 250/50 and
Singulair 10.   About once an hour or two, I cough up the strangest
sputum.  It's clear, really sticky, and hangs in strings or sheets.

I look at it and think, nah, that's not semen, is it?

-kh - There is an resemblance. Coughing it up is nowhere near as much
fun as squirting used to be.
