First appointment at Guy's - Pre Op

The bloodletting begins lol!  Well, OK, not that bad, but I would rather I was not here having any of this done.

Got the train to London with Lee and went to Guy's for my pre-op check. 

Nothing awful really - I just answered lots of questions, had an ECG, blood tests, MRSA swabs and a chest x-ray.

It was also my chance to ask questions, and find out a bit more about the procedure I'm having in 2 weeks, which I'm told will be a keyhole type of surgery.

I will be having the nodule and some lymph nodes removed.  If the nodule is cancer, then they will be removing a whole lobe of my lung, which means they probably have to open me up, and 'spread' my ribs to get to where they are working.  Even still, they expect me to be out within 4 days.

I'm in a reasonably good mood, and am lucky enough to be going home to Jamaica for a few days before the operation - which does really help of course.  I'm sure I'll be more nervous on the day!
