Glad to hear everything’s okay.
Don’t know what I’d do without my monkey.

You consider that a story? At what age did you contract it, was it self resolving and if not what was it treated with?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Had a CT Scan with Contrast today after it took 3 weeks for insurance to approve CT scan. No CA. Just scarring on lung from a previous fungal infection. In these last 5 weeks I have felt no desire to pray. No desire to respond to friends and family offers of prayer. No desire to thank the Great Bog in the Sky for a good report. Happy to be here at 60 years old with an otherwise good bill of health. Science is awesome! Very glad you're okay. My best friend's little brother is going through leukemia treatments right now and they're currently looking for a bone marrow donor. It's a very tough thing on everyone involved. However, glad your situation worked out for the best. On the other end, bravo on not turning to old, archaic, mythical thinking and realizing that "praying" does nothing. Glad you're past that, as an atheist.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
I keep getting "mesothelioma" that keeps getting corrected to "asbestosis". That last one is not surprise, I lived in the town that had the first ever asbestos plant. We played in the ruins when I was a kid.
Glad everything's alright. Sorry for any stress that not knowing caused, sometimes (luckily) that's the worst part.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Science is awesome! This reminds me what that mountain climber said when fell into a deep, icy, abyss-like hole and was left for dead by his fellow mountain climbers in the documentary "Touching the Void" (2003):
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

With my family and friends offering uplifting words, I never felt isolated.

Good to see you don't have cancer! I grew up in southern California but I don't think I ever got this.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
