rough couple of days

[Guest guest]

good afternoon everyone,I usually don't talk about myselfand how I am doing but In this case I wanted to let everyone know what has been going onand also get this off my chest ( I wish literally )well monday afternoon I had some pretty bad pain in my left lung , I couldn't take a deep breathit felt like when I had my chest tube in after my V.A.T.S so I called my local Dr. and he told me to go to the ER so I did and they checked me over pretty good and they did another CT scan and turns out the spot in my left upper lobe had more than tripled in size so they calledmy pulmonologest at UofM and he said he wanted to see me right awayso my wife and I went there yesterday morning my doctor met me at the sign in desk and wanted to see the scan that they took here at the hospital in grand rapids he looked at it along with the radiologist and some other Drs. they think for sure that the spot that had grown so large so fast is cancerbut there were some other spots much smaller and lower that they were not sure of so they are going to do a bronchoscopy on those spots along with the large spot to make sure they said they want to get me in a.s.a.p. probably monday my pulmo said the best thing that could come out of this was that the spots lower and smallertest negative in witch case they would just remove my left upper lobe were the giant spot isand if it tests positive than they would remove the left upper lobe and put me on some oral chemo therapy and hope that it would take care of the rest If it doesn't than he would recommend a double lung transplant but all I can do now is wait till after the biopsy my wife and family are taking it pretty hard,,, so could everyone say a little prayer for my familyPLEASE?thank you Brett Bowser familial UIP/IPF 11/07 40 Mi.
