O.K. Look at the positive reports....forget the negative.

Bronchiolitis: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bronchiolitis/DS00481

Look up the the diagnosis which applies, like mild interstitial fibrosis, interstitial pneumonitis, focal lypphoytic aggregates....etc. Look each one up on Google (or another search engine) and make a list. Then you will have intelligent questions to ask the doctor. Take your list and take your pen to write down answers. Don't worry about HIS time. You will pay dearly for it. Your life is at stake...take charge!

I am praying for you. Take care and let us know what the pulmonary doc says.

Nascarlady,

I read over the post. in the opening I said..look at positive, forget negative.....I meant the findings that did show in the report..not to bother with the ones they ruled out. I sure have a hard time experessing myself.

sorry, but no help to you - we got a report with all kinds of info that makes no sense to us either - maybe someone out there can give you some plain language on it. Kim

biopsy results anyone understand this lingo?

pathology report from lung biopsyupper left lobe: bronchiolitis with many hemosiderin-laden macrophages withing bronchiolar and alveolar spaces with area of desquamation. atelectasis, mild interstitial firosis, mild chronic and chronic active interstitial pneumonitis, and focal lymphocytic aggregates. no viral inclusion. no granulomatous inflammation. negative for malignancy.2nd wedge: lung parenchyma with emphysematious change, focal mild interstitial fibrosis with mild acute and chronic interstitial pneumonitis and some hemosiderin-laden macrophages within alveolar spaces and small focal lymphocytic aggregate. no granulomatous inflammation. no vial inclusions. negative for malignancy.My surgeon just gave me this report and set up an appointment with my pulmonoligist. Does anyone have a clue what this report is really saying???

I know a few of the terms Interstitial means the space between the air sac. where the scaring takes place. Pneumonitis means a inflamed spot. I call it a red spot like a sore. So you have growing active red spots that will turn into fibrosis or scars. Which is your mild interstitual fibrosis or mild scaring P.Kim L Jelen wrote: sorry, but no help to you - we got a report with all kinds of info that makes no sense to us either - maybe someone out there can give you some plain language on it.
