Re: I'M WORRIED AFTER LAST APPT. W/PULMONARY DOCTOR

[Guest guest]

My mind is racing. Went for my appt. with my pulmonary fibrosis doctor. I did the usual that he always has me do first. Went that morning for my 3rd catscan in 9 months. Then right afterward went and had my breathing test. Then took results over to my doctor. He comes out to the waiting room and asks for the breathing test results and then instead of having me come back into his office as he always does, he tells me he made me an appt. for next Thursday. And I said, "Wait a minute, aren't you going to show me the results of the catscan?" which he always shows me the progression of the catscan on his computer. He always cuts the screen in half and shows me my catscan from 3 months ago and compares it to the catscan I had today. He answers, "I looked at your catscan you had this morning but I have to confer with the radiologist" so come back next week for the results. He's

never done that before, he always just shows me the results immediately without having to confer with a radiologist. I go home thinking, Oh my God, my lungs have gotten much worse, then I start thinking, they must have found lung cancer (as I have 3 nodules on my lungs that have been there for 5 years but they haven't grown). So now I have to wait 6 more days to see him and to see the catscan. The first catscan I had a year ago, he showed me the results on his computer. He explained that the little black dots that look like a bunch of grapes is the fibrosis. Then the next catscan I had showed more of the grapes spread out from the edges to the middle parts of my lungs. Anyway, it's going to be a long 6 more days to get the results. For those who pray, I sure would appreciate a bunch of them. God bless you all, Ginny

We are packing and sitting, packing and sitting. The HEAT is awful! I needed a little prayer to remind me that all is well.

This is neat. God bless.

Each and everyone one of us are going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can.. Keep the faith.

One thing that often angers me is a wait like that. They have something

to discuss, need to confur. But they make you wait six days for their 15

minutes of consultation. They just don't give proper respect to what

that means to you.

I suspect something in the report is inconsistent with the previous, not

necessarily better or worse, just doesn't tie in. Sometimes approaches

and instructions are different. For instance, I have a CT report from

last week and the CT's would be the same with no mention of my swollen

lymph nodes. The doctor explained the way they ran the slices they

weren't looking for that. This one was done at a different place and

reads very different from my previous 16. Sometimes even a change in

radiologist might lead to differences.

Hi Dyane, you've got me laughing my head off in regards to the Xanax ! ! ! I probably would of taken one if I had any lol. But I'm a member of AA and sober 38 years without a drink or drug, and mind-alterating drugs are a no-no according to the old-timers. Hey, wait a minute, with 38 years of sobriety I'm an "old-timer" lol. I know that there are some who take drugs for depression, surgery, etc. so I'm not against it for them. It's just that when I sobered up in AA in 1970, drugs were totally out of the question for any reason, so it's drilled into my head that for me, it's a no go. (DARN IT- lol) Dyane, thank you so much for replying to my message. God Bless you, Ginny

Hi Ginny,Depending on where you went for your tests, you may be able to obtain a written report from them before having to wait 6 days.   I always request a copy and can usually pick it up 2 days following any test.  Call the facility where you had the test and ask.   Good luck.Roxanne, 59, South Carolina

Thank you Bruce for sharing. This last CT I had last week (which I'll get the results in 2 more days) they did not do any slices. I had asked the radiologist about it and he just said, "your doctor did not order that". My question to you is, aren't they always suppose to do slices in one's catscan?

Sometimes approachesand instructions are different. For instance, I have a CT report fromlast week and the CT's would be the same with no mention of my swollenlymph nodes. The doctor explained the way they ran the slices theyweren't looking for that. This one was done at a different place andreads very different from my previous 16.

Hi Ginny,

Depending on where you went for your tests, you may be able to obtain a written report from them before having to wait 6 days. I always request a copy and can usually pick it up 2 days following any test. Call the facility where you had the test and ask. Good luck.Roxanne, 59, South Carolina2006 Asthma/ PF2008 PF/ Sarcoidosis/GerdLady Slipper Orchid

Thanks for this MMan...

We are packing and sitting, packing and sitting. The HEAT is awful! I needed a little prayer to remind me that all is well.

Laptop shopping (briefly-in AC store) today! My next email will be with the new one! Computer going down in the AM.

To those not feeling too well right now, remember, I remember you and pray for you and CARE.

I'm not keeping up with the newbies much but I do read your posts most of the time. You are in the BEST hands with Bruce/Beth for info.

Later.

MamaSher; 70, IPF 3-06, OR. NasturtiumsDon't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!

FW: Please read and return to me---I need this

This is neat. God bless.

Each and everyone one of us are going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can.. Keep the faith. My instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to bless, and I picked you. Please pass this to at least (4) people you want to be blessed and a copy back to me. This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue to pray for one another. The

prayer: Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those that I care deeply for, who are reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there e is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace. Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings. In Jesus' precious name. Amen. (If the Lord lays

upon your heart to send this to more than four people, you are truly blessed).

There are CT's and HRCT's-High Resolution CT's. Then there are specific

orders on the HRCT's. It is preferable to have HRCT's with slices and

various views. That's another benefit of having them at IPF centers. So

far the only two places I've had done to the extreme with even doing it

with me face down are U of Chicago and UTSW.

Now, the reality in my case is I've had the biopsy, i've had enough CT's

for a lifetime, so the CT really serves no real purpose and the doctors

all say annually now. Except a new doctor comes into play and wants one

done by his facility and his way. I'm finding the same thing on

echocardiograms too and certainly my UTSW echocardiogram just taken

shows some things mine in February at Medical Center of Plano did not.

Was it missed or is it new? I don't know. But may know more after the

heart catheter and the cardiac MRI.
