Here it is as concise as I can make it: The CT scan showed several patches of something in both of my lungs. The doctor said that it is either cancer or an inflamatory process. I will be having more extensive blood tests and another CT scan and perhaps an MRI to see, if it is cancer, if it spread from elsewhere in my body. Depending on what the blood test reveal and the next CT scan, I will have a lung biopsy to determine if it's cancer.
I am dismayed and shocked. I didn't expect this. I thought he would say that everything was okay or I just had some sort of infection in my lungs. I'm still reeling.
I'm asking you to please pray that it's not cancer, that it's an inflamatory process caused by my over-active immune system (Remember I do have IBD), and that it's healed. If it's true that the movement of a butterfly's wing can cause a hurricaine across the world, then your prayer and your thoughts can surely move the universe.
Know that I appreciate your support and will give you updates as I get them. I am not done down here yet, and I intend to fight whatever it is as hard as I can as long as I can and then some!
Thank you.

Prayers on their way and continuing.
Constant prayers going up. You won't be fighting this alone.
I found you this morning as I was "playing" with my own blog. Clicked on Lion In Winter and Oklahoma and found my way over here. I am also living in Oklahoma. Working on a children's book set in Oklahoma. Been dragging my heels. I also have autoimmune problems but hopefully much resolved by now-long haul though. Will say prayers for you and send you good thoughts. Best. D
Sorry to hear this. I think this waiting is the hardest part of all. You just don't know anything for sure, so keep a positive head about you. Hopefully this is nothing more than an inconvenience that time and a little meds can clear up. We'll definitely be praying in that direction. Let me know what's going on when you know more.
Prayers aloft, brother.
The God of the Universe has you in His hands. He loves you, he knows your name and your concerns. Place your trust in Him, your worries on Him. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for though art with me." I've got your back, buddy, and my prayers are with you, too. Much love.
Just know you are not waiting alone. We are all worried and praying with you. Please keep us update and let me know if there is anything i can do for you.

Thank you all so much for your support and prayers. It means more to me that I can express. Reading your words has made me feel less alone as I confront whatever this turns out to be. Thank you.
Most of us can't be there in person, but we are thinking of you, praying for you, and virtually by your side. Never forget that.
Prayers, of course.
