It’s almost a year since surgery and yesterdays ct scan showed no new malignancy. However it showed a thyroid nodule that they biopsied and is malignant so off to a thyroid surgeon for that. Oh life…. Never easy LRB

My pcp is no better than seeing my local vet. A Ct scan is now scheduled for august. Surgeon said if there’s a problem, she can do a ‘renovation’. Whaaaat? Not sure I want anything in my body renovated except my face. Lol. What’s a renovation? Otherwise, I think I’m doing well. LRB

9 months since the LUL surgery. I think I’m doing well but wonder why I still have days when I’m short of breath and heavy breathing. Also have a dry croupy type cough sometimes. And days when I’m just exhausted. Is this normal? LadyRoseBlade.

You are going through more than one person should. I’m glad you got an answer. I’m sorry your life is md appointments. I feel a little of that. I tell people my social circle is now completely comprised of medical people. I hope you’re at a large teaching hospital and getting top notch care. thinking of you! susan

Minh. You have been through the ringer. I have an effusion as well and no one has said anything. Having tests and waiting for answers is true torture. I’m to the point I don’t want any more tests. Don’t want them to find anything else. I’d ask about monoclonal therapy. I’ve had c-diff twice since surgery and may have it again and will ask for this. good luck… this group does help!! LRB
