scarring

[Guest guest]

I apologize if I didn't explain myself very clearly. When I watched the scope

going down into my lungs it looked pink to me. He flushed the area where the

scope was and retracted tissue for testing. He showed us my cat scans and

pointed out all the scarring. Some areas were almost white that should have been

black. He is a Pulmonary Fibrosis specialist at The Firestone Institute for

Respiratory Health at St ph Hospital. They are also a teaching hospital in

conjunction with McMaster University Hospital. He is also the principal

investigator in the Phase 2 clinical trials getting ready to start. A very

caring man. When he talks to my wife and myself you can feel the emotion in his

voice. I just wish I would have seen him 3 yrs ago. I will look up that site for

oximeters. I do walk a lot at my job and sometimes when I come home all I want

to do is sleep especially later on in the week.
