Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Cathy, So glad to hear your Dad is going to the Clinic. Let us know what happens. Hugs, Sandy Amber & Carol, Don't take the breathlessness lightly. That is my Dad's problem and we are going to the Cleveland Clinic on Monday (YEAH) to be evaluated for a stent to be placed in his trachea. The docs kept telling him he just had bronchitis. They finally diagnosed the RP and realized his airway was closing when they did a CT scan. Nothing else showed the problem. It has been my experience that you just have to keep bugging these folks and they get tired of hearing from you and then they go that extra step. CathyDDISCLAIMER!!WE ARE NOT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, THEREFORE ANY INFORMATION THAT IS RECEIVED HERE IS FROM EXPERIENCE ONLY. PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING THAT IS SUGGESTED. WE ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR PHYSICIAN AND ARE NOT TRYING TO BE. REMEMBER EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT AND TREATMENT MAYBE DIFFERENT FOR MANY OF US. THANK YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
