Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yesterday when I posted about my doctor appointment, I was sooo exhausted! So now I am going to post some of my PFT results. FVC 1.27 or 42% DLCO 7.7 or 37% TLC 2.30 or 52% Previous scores show a pattern of stability and are as follows: 7/18/2006 FVC=1.16 TLC=3.37 DLCO=6.5 12/15/2006 FVC=1.23 TLC=2.18 DLCO=6.9 04/06/2007 FVC=1.16 TLC=2.33 DLCO=6.4 09/06/2007 FVC=1.27 TLC=2.30 DLCO=7.7 My doctor pointed out to me that the above scores are the important ones that he follows. I did not have to have the 6MW. But I will have plenty of those if I qualify for the Step Trial.

Is the trial already full? > > > Yesterday when I posted about my doctor appointment, I was sooo > exhausted!
