Cancer sucks! Keep up the fight! My son has Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, he also had a mass in his chest that was pushing on his airway as well as his heart. His mass was also discovered due to a pleural effusion, it completely collapsed the one lung. They drained two liters of fluid plus the mass was 4inches across and 7 inches long and he only complained about being tired and a little short of breath. Stoic lil fella... He named his mass The Blorg, to humanize it and to give it a "face" to fight. It really helped, having a direction to focus all his anger and frustration.
He is now a year into his maintenance phase with less than a year to go, his Mohawk has grown back, he's playing rugby again with some padding to cover his port, life is moving closer and closer to normal. It's hard times to fight cancer but keep in mind that there will be an end. It won't come soon enough but it will come. BTW, don't be surprised if your hair grown back different for a while, that happens a lot. It won't last very long.. You might want to look into the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's "Light the Night Walk". LLS raises funds for blood cancer research and helps patients as well. The light the night walk is a lot of fun to do and it feels great to be surrounded by a helping and understanding community. Best wishes to you, keep up the good fight!
