Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hello ???? titanbe, Sorry to hear about the dx of PF---I too am a Viet Nam Vet (thank God not disabled)---so I guess it would be appropriate for me to ask your "name rank and serial #---so we know who your are HaHaHa. Family, kids, etc. I do need to know where you live --so I know what kind of fish you are fishing for? All kidding aside--this is a great "board" and certainly will be able to help you with understanding PF---no such thing as a dumb question--- we all learn from each other. Welcome aboard!!! G. UIP/IPF 5/07 Az. Subject: newly diagnossedTo: Breathe-Support Date: Monday, June 23, 2008, 2:15 AM I was just diagnossed last thursday. Went for a c/t scan for a nodule on my lung. Doctors haven't said much other than the diagnosis. I am clueless with regard to pf so I can't even ask questions. I am 57 totally disabled viet nam vet with hep c, diabetes and ptsd. I have another md appointment tuesday, kind of interferes with my fishing plans,lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hello and welcome to the board! We all understand your feeling overwhelmed and not understanding what's going on. Since you have another doctor appointment on Tuesday I'm hoping you'll get more of an explanation of your diagnosis and what the doctors see that leads them to that diagnosis. In fact, you might want to ask for that explanation right up front. If there is anything any of us here on the board can do to help we're right here ready and willing to support you. That's what this group of folks does best in my experience. There's more compassion and empathy here than anyplace else on the planet! Please keep us posted!

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I was diagnosed by a chest x-ray.My doctors appointment tomorrow is to refer me to a pulmonologist. My name is Bob and I am 58 years old. I am married to the love of my life. I had a ct scan last week so I will get those results tomorrow. I am rated 100% disabled by the VA, but as you might imagine social security is dragging its feet contrary to all medical documentation.I am living in Zapata,Texas -on my good days I guide on this lake. This is the best bass lake in texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
