Maybe some of you recall that my PCP had been sending me to take X-Rays of my lungs every 3 weeks, and I found it strange that he has nothing to report, and gets his receptionist to give me another requisition for yet another X-ray, so I went again over a week ago.
Yesterday got a call from his office and he wants to see me tuesday.
I was planning to go see him, but whenever I want an appointment it's always backed up 6-8 weeks, so this way I will get to talk to him about a whole list of things.
Hope the news he has to share with me is not too too bad. :(

Oh honey do I ever know how scary that is, About have way thru this treatment, The end of Sept. I got a bad pneamonia, It took started right after I began the treatment. Which at that time I was still smoking,The Drs. really didn\'t listen when I was telling them I could breathe. I was using my inhaler 2 to 4 times a day, I finally got to where I couldn\'t breath my Husband took me to ER. My xrays came back with an abnormality. Which then they sent me for a CT with contrast.I most definely had pneamonia.It also is showing what they call nodulars. which until the pnemonia was gone they could tell me anything else. after going every 2 wks for xrays the Pnemonia was gone thank god. Had Ct repeated in Feb. I quit smoking @ Thanksgiving with help of the new pill Chantix. Anyways they scared me to death had me go back to have a Ct done of my lower abdonmine cause it showed something abnormal. Well now I am sitting here waiting for a couple more months to have them done again. They tell me not to worry , right, but there are some areas that need to be watched on the liver and my lungs now. I hope things go well at your appt. Stay postitive. I wish they wouldn\'t tell us if it is something we aren\'t suppose to worry about it.
Wow..I seen the entry on your lung X-ray. Have you been feeling bad or is it routine? That would piss me off to have one done and order another without an explaintion on the first one. I hope everything is ok
It all started last summer, I had a hard time to breath and kept working like that, eventually was so sick I schedualed an appointment which was for 5 weeks later, so by that time I was at the end of my rope and my doctor put me on sick leave from work. Ever since november I was told I had pneumonia, then went again for another one, was given steroids for 6 days, went again, that\'s when I was told to pick up yet another requisition and the last time I argued with the receptionist in the office and she wouldn\'t let me see him, since I had no appointment, so I told her I must have something showing on my last x-ray this will be the fourth one? She replied well probably nothing since he didn\'t ask to see you. She mst have felt like shit excuse the espresion but she had to call me to get me to go in tuesday. Biatche
Yea, I sure hope it\'s not too too bad.
later....
I\'m sorry, McK, There\'s nothing worse than the runaround except for the runaround you get where your health is concerned. I\'m thinking of you and sending you the best thoughts. Love, Kathy
