Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 As I stated in my intro when I first joined, I don't have an " official " diagnosis yet. I had a chest x-ray last month that showed " diffuse fibrosis bilaterally " , I am scheduled for pulmonary function tests next week, and had a high resolution CT scan of the lungs this past Monday. I picked up a copy of the CT report yesterday, as I don't go back to the pulmonologist for a few weeks and was anxious to see what it said. The following is the impression as written by the radiologist: " Widely scattered small blebs as well as several scattered subpleural or pleural based nodules bilaterally. This is most prominent at the right lung base and there appear to be calcifications within a pleural based nodule and adjacent parenchymal nodule compatible with granulomatous disease. These findings should be further correlated clinically but are probably related to old granulomatous disease. Very minimal scattered areas of nondescript interstitial fibrosis is present. No other evidence of acute disease however is seen. " Anyone have any input/guesses as to what this means. I've been trying to research each item, but not getting very far. Thank you in advance for any insight Diane - in NJ ~0) (my never ending cup of coffee, lol) dianeflemings@...
