Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | Thanks guys! Glad you agree with me. I'm not fond of extra holes in by body either besides I've had such a string of bad luck recently, I'm afraid to risk anything that has a downside unless it is a necessity. Think I'll just get the bronchoscopy and only allow a biopsy if they see something they think is cancer. Will let you know how it turns out.
Take care,
Eileen

No-one I know is allowed to have any extra cancer at all, so prayers, candles, crossed fingers and toes, hex signs... What ever it takes you have to be fine...

Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | I'm back from the hospital. Dr was pissed that I would not let him do biopsy on area of lung which he can't see but agrees that it is not cancer. I said when I had symptoms he could do it, not now. From the areas he could see, both lungs on in healthy condition and no signs of anything that would need a biopsy. This should get him 'off my back' about he 'junk' he see's in the CT scans in my upper lungs. He did several washes for various infections and says it will be 4 weeks before he gets the results. Will let you know then.
Meantime thanks for the support everyone. It means a lot.
Take care,
Eileen
