Pea Lung? Pea Sprout Found in Lung!
Ron Sveden was afraid that he was going to be diagnosed with cancer. But upon revision with doctors, they realized that his breathing problems was being caused by a pea sprout in his lungs!
Ron Sveden, 75 years old, is a retired teacher from Brewster, Massachusetts. He had noticed that he was short of breath frequently and went to the hospital for a diagnosis.
Doctors took an X-ray of his chest and to much amazement found a pea sprouting in his lungs.
Sveden said, "I was told I had a pea seed in my lung that had split and had sprouted. It is probably about a half-an-inch which is a pretty big thing."
Before the "pea lung" incident, Sveden was suffering from emphysema and doctors realized that his left lung collapsed but there where no cancer cells found.
Ironically one of the first meals that Sveden received at the hospital where peas! His wife was happy to hear that he didn't have cancer and commented, "God has such a sense of humor. I mean it could have been just nothing, but it had to be a pea, and it had to be sprouting."
Doctors went ahead and operated on Ron Sveden to remove the pea sprout and he is currently recovering from the surgery.
