The Rain in May Stays Mainly on the Brain

The forecast is calling for rain this week. That makes me think of May 2015. It rained 28 days in May last year. We don't get rain like that in Colorado Springs. It was so humid. I was having a hard time breathing.

That's the bad thing about lung cancer. The symptoms are often very similar to other symptoms. My lungs felt so heavy last May. I didn't think too much about it at the time because of our unusual, wet, humid, weather.

I now know it wasn't the weather causing my breathing problems. It was, yet to be diagnosed, lung cancer.

When it rains, and I'm at work, it triggers that memory of my bogged down lungs.

I've been deleting emails from the urgent care type facility that I went to in December 2014. Every time I see their emails it triggers the memory of going to their location, thinking I had bronchitis, and being told my lungs sounded clear. I was told my congestion was caused by post nasal drip. I explained that I cough all the time, even without a head cold.  I was given a list of over counter medications and the appointment was over.

This last week I decided to look at an email so I could unsubscribe from the repeated emails. That's when found the email was a survey.  How was your service? Let's just say I gave them an earful with the limited amount of characters I had to notify them that my post nasal drip cough was later diagnosed as stage iv lung cancer. I haven't received a reply yet.
