MDA said go ahead and get lung biopsy in Michigan before I head to Texas which I did on Friday. Biopsy procedure collapsed my lung and they cannot get it to hold up yet. Still in hospital and may be for a few more days.
So I can�t fly for at least two weeks, will miss my meetings set for early in the week with MDA and am just plain pissed off. I will try and reschedule meetings for end of week and take a train if they will let me out of this hospital. Doctor that did biopsy said it was rough (obviously) and he may not have gotten a viable sample for the pathologist, so I may have to start this whole thing from scratch if I can ever get to Houston. Pathology results in on Monday (if at all).
Wish me luck.
