Her take is that I had an infection. My lungs sound clear right now, so she's optimistic that I'm on the mend. Just to be sure, I'll have a CT scan next month to check on things. If something still shows up, she'll do a bronchoscopy to get a sample of whatever nastiness is in there.
My records have made it to UCSF, so things are moving along on that front too.
Chemo starts on Tuesday afternoon. I'm a little worried, but mostly I'm anxious to get started and see if the magic cocktail will work again (all fingers and toes are crossed)!
Wonderful news on the lungs!! What a relief, indeed. Glad the plumonologist was on the ball - despite her ditsy staff.
ReplyDeleteYes, you must be a bit nervous beginning chemo this week. Here's hoping that it works and works fast so that you can relax a bit knowing those chemicals are doing the job.
lots of love,

That’s great that you got some good news from the pulmonologist! What a relief! And, I am glad to hear that things are moving along towards getting a second opinion.
ReplyDeleteWell, of course you should be worried! Who wouldn’t be?! But seriously, I hope that all goes as well as can be expected, and that the cocktail does its thing, and quickly!
Wishing you all the best on Tuesday!
Love, Jane
