Ry Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 John had a change on his last CT scan. The oncologist was not sure if it was the cancer growing or due to the bronchitis he had been fighting. He was scheduled for a bronc to take a look. The pulmonologist said the airway was restricted but open and he did not see any cancer but did find some abnormal cells. The doctor gave him a new inhaler to try for this horrible cough he's had and just when he started to feel better--boom-- he has another infection of some kind and is running a fever. Our family doc got him in today (love our family doctor!) for antibiotics and steroids so hopefully he will feel better soon.

J.C. Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Ry, Did they get cultures from the sputum to make a good choice of the medication? What is the name of the new inhaler? Here we are getting the weirdest lung infections this summer just because of the heat wave we had from middle of May till last week. Still fighing the one I got in May and may see the bright side soon. Keeping my fingers crossed for good news. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloesmom Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Rochelle, I'm so sorry to hear that John isn't feeling well right now and that the change in the CT is just inflammation. I hope the meds take care of all that quickly. Please give him my best. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger C Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hi Ry, thanks so much for the update. I did see on your profile that John was going to have a bronc, but I could not find any result. Wish him well and hope he is feeling better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Rochelle, I hope John's feeling better soon and the abnormal cells don't become a problem. The coughing must be driving him crazy. I don't suppose finding a role for him in the ongoing saga of whatever it's called (Billy, Bootsy, Randy, Larry, Mary Lou, and the cow) would help.

Nushka Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Ry and John, I hope you feel better soon John. Let us know what they say about the abnormal cells. I use an inhaler called combivent that helps me quite a bit. I have also used advair. Hope yours works for you. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Thanks for all the well wishes for John. He is having quite a problem with fevers and sweating when the fever breaks. His new inhaler is Advair and seems to help. He also got a prescription for codeine pills and steroids. Now between all that something should work on his cough. Jackie- I know the pulmonologist did some washings and took some samples so I imagine we will get another report at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
