Well I am looking at a copy of the preliminary report based on the Pathology finding and the frozen results from the biopsy seem to be confirmed.  I have Adenocarcinoma with a BAC (Bronchioloaveolar pattern).  I am not alarmed with this discovery, a recurrence is always a possibility; I would be numb if it (JACK /JACKASS) was anything other than BAC.  I hope if it comes back we do something other than a wedge resection (note) wedge resections hurt so so so bad I would rather go through another transplant rather than have a wedge resection. 
My chest tubes are still in but I am a quick draw on the Morphine trigger (self med).  I wonder how long it will take me to recover, it took me 2 years to get to this point I hope I don't need another 2 years to recover.
I will post some pictures later (2 years ago Stanford Transplant,  2009 Surgery Pictures, 2009 Surgery scar it is long and ugly).
