pattrose | Why I've been absent lately.

In November, I had the 7th CT scan of my chest. I have a ground glass nodule. They make sure it doesn't grow. Well, the one in November went from 1 cm to 2 1/2 cm. When I saw the doctor, he said we could do a biopsy of my nodule. He said he would discuss it with me later and made an appointment for April 8th. I'm on oxygen 24 hours a day. My lungs have been giving me hell lately, so I was anxious for the appointment. When we got there, a new doctor saw me. She went over everything in my chart and said the doctor had omitted the part where we discussed the bronchioscopy to be done. I informed her that he never called me back. She apologized for the doctor dropping the ball. She said she would call me the next day. Well, two hours later she called me. She handed the doctor my chart and asked what happened. He said he dropped the ball. (She was right) He called the doctor right away, who would be doing the procedure. They had to set up a new CT Scan, which I did yesterday. Then he called, apologized for forgetting about the procedure, and they would set it up as soon as they saw the new CT Scan. Looks like we might have some closure this time. The procedure is pretty cool. A small camera goes down your throat and into the lungs, and you are asleep. The camera finds the nodule and gets a biopsy. Then it goes back up, and that's done. I'm hoping for this to be over soon. I'll keep you posted. And don't worry. It's a very safe procedure. 😁😁
