Halloween Doctors Visit

Just got back from the Drs visit at the U of Chicago.

Well, first i have to get a Petscan???  for cancer.....for that spot....they don't think so but want to check it out.....say if it is cancer which they doubt ,,,,they just cut it out.

They keep saying they would like to have a biopsy for Pulmonary Fibrosis but my heart is so weak the procedure might kill me.

So if the Petscan says something they will do surgery

Also, he doesn't think that med in Germany does any good from experience with it.

When i walk my oxygen level goes way too far down and could cause my heart to go kaput....so he wants me to take oxygen when i do anything physical....walking, bike riding...airplanes..
etc...Of course I said yes, and because the level is so low,,,the gov will pay for it.

So much more information.  Dr and asst....talked to us for 45 minutes with the xrays--cat scan results on their monitor...pointing out slice by slice all the things wrong with my Lungs.. .holes,, honeycone?,  ,,scaring and scaring all over.

He said the lung dr up here did a great report but that the equipment U of Chicago is so much more powerful and thus more details....than Ressurections.

He compared the photos and you could see clearly the new photos.

Jill went with us and drove ...an hour in slow traffic....we had breakfast there for 3 of us and it was only $12.   3 coffee's...scrambled eggs,,,hash browns and toast

Dr was happy/friendly and encouraged me to go to Fla.  

In may he scheduled the lung tests again to see if any change...if so ...maybe biopsy

I'm sure i will remember more later....I will let you know.
