Re: Saying Goodbye with love!

I am so happy for your good news!! Good luck in all you do. I got good news this week, too. My mammogram came back negative and the mass on my ovary is gone. So no breast cancer or ovarian cancer. He did not want to do the laser surgery for the precancer cells on the Pap smear cuz he said any surgery is too risky due to the lung disease. Have to repeat colposcopy/biopsy in 4 months.

About 3pm today I got word that I do not have ILD/IPF! For one year I believed I did. Yesterday I had a high resolution CAT Scan and my lungs are clear in spite of an initial diagnosis of ILD about a year ago. Also, about two weeks ago I had pulmo breathing tests that I did poorly on. It is a mystery. I was either misdiagnosed initially or God healed me. I am, of course, delighted and so is my family! I didn't know how to share this with all of you but knew I must. THANK YOU for your tremendous support! You are wonderful in every way! I will be leaving this group but not in spirit - You will always be in my heart. For one year I was one of you! I love you all!

Ken

While the news is great, the doctor who diagnosed you without a CT a

year ago should have his medical license revoked. It took us one read to

tell you that you had no diagnosis and must have a CT and yet someone

had the audacity to make you go a year thinking you did. It's

intolerable. But glad for the good news and remember how precious life

felt for that year and use each year forward with that in mind.

About 3pm today I got word that I do not have ILD/IPF! For one year I believed I did. Yesterday I had a high resolution CAT Scan and my lungs are clear in spite of an initial diagnosis of ILD about a year ago. Also, about two weeks ago I had pulmo breathing tests that I did poorly on. It is a mystery. I was either misdiagnosed initially or God healed me. I am, of course, delighted and so is my family! I didn't know how to share this with all of you but knew I must.
