I am kinda nervous re: my results.
Here goes;
I've been to my PCP today for the results of my third and fourth lung x-ray, and also to discuss what to do for my sciatica nerve.
For the lung issue; Dr.Gagnee says their is major damage to my left lung, but since it's results from a regular lung xray, he cannot tell if their are spots of cancer on it, so he's sending me to get a CT scan for a closer look.
He is transfering my case and all of files from the last 12 months of my lung problems, to a Pulmonologist in Ottawa.
So the ct scan will be done at the Hawkesbury Hospital, and I need to go for a lung test which will determine the strenght of my lungs.
This is going to be done at the chief of staff of doctors in Hawkesbury, the special machine is in his office.
He prescribed me a new powder inhaler stronger than the last one he had prescribed in November 06.
Next my sciatica nerve; since november 06, the pain had started at the hip only, in february I told him the pain was affecting my lower back when I was standing still, and today I told him that the pain from the sciatca nerve was from my left foot right up to the back.
He has prescribed me a additional pill, and is sending me for a scan for all my left side spine, leg ect....
My next appointment with him will be in June the 13th, so by that time he should have the results with him for the sciatica nerve anyway. As for the other results of my lungs, the specialist will deal with giving me my results, I guess.....
Let the waiting games begin... Mckenzie One day at the time

Thanks for letting us know McK. You\'re going through so much right now, yet you give so much of yourself. You\'re a fighter. In a good way.

Sounds as if you have a Dr. that is right on top of things, Praying you get the anwsers soon Waiting is no fun ! Got the question posted, We will talk soon. Hope the new med works, Rest well
i think those are positive results,and forward movement. Getting the tests done is so huge! is the trip long to the docs? how is your daughter holding up? Huge amounts of hugs to you!
The technoligy they will be using next is so much better than an x-ray. Maybe they will have better answers for you as well, God bless and good health.

What a difference a good night sleep make....
Yesterday I was so tired and worried about my visit with my PCP.
This morning I have a whole different outlook, it\'s gonna take ages before I go thru all these tests, and get the results, so I must put it out of my mind, and take it... One day at the time
Hope to find you all well at this time.
hang on and let us know what is happening.wheels
sending positive healing thoughts your way and hoping for the most healthful outcome, keep us posted
