Sure, I need a new health problem
I've said it before. Phooey fizzfarts.
I used to smoke. I have COPD. Since my heart attack 4 years I'm on oxygen. And my pulmonary doctor has been keeping an eye on a teeny tiny nodule in each lung for over a decade.
I had a CT scan on 6/11. Normal thing that I do every few years.
Uh-oh. There's a new lump in one of my lungs, about the size of a large grape. (The teeny tiny ones they've been watching are the size of an average pill.)
Now I have to have a PET scan so my doctors can figure out what the lump is or might be.
My primary care physician, my breast cancer oncologist/hematologist and my pulmonary doctor are fussing amongst themselves because they all seem to want to be in charge of this new hiccup.
Hello! I'm here too people.
I scheduled a PET scan near my house, so that I don't have to go begging for a ride. For my breast cancer issues, the Pink Ribbon folks are awesome. But they don't handle driving people to appointments about other problems. Two of my docs preferred that I go to a different provider for the PET scan. The other doesn't care where it is done.
Meanwhile, I reminded a nurse that they all need to have their arguments without me. For pity's sake, I'm supposed to be living a life of little stress so that I can heal.
As always, I treasure your prayers.
