Barb1260 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I feel like I’m reliving 38 months ago. had a little upper respiratory and ear thing last week and now symptoms that remind me of my diagnosis days. dry throat, hoarse voice, dry cough if I talk too much, swollen ankles. Sure it could be many things but my gut feeling is here we go again. Not sure who to call-PCP, pulmonologist, oncologist? My thought is oncologist who can get my CT pushed up from May(which would have been my first 6 month interval scan). I hate this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Barb, I understand. It seems each little congestive episode takes me back to full blown lung cancer syndrome, even after 18-years of this stuff. My call would be to my oncologist who would push my CT test upon request. We all hate it but... Stay the course. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen_L Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Barb, I can relate! I've had a sinus-cough thing going on for over a week. I was going to wait to talk to anyone-- I have scans in two weeks, so anything new would show up there. I did a home Covid test to rule that out. Then I reasoned that I have lung cancer and a history of pulmonary embolisms, so I should call...who? I've decided I'll always start with the oncologist, because 1) they're really nice; 2) they'll send me to someone who can help me if they need to. I hope you feel better once you've decided who to call. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb1260 Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 Hi Karen.Saw the PA at the oncologist’s office yesterday. Moving up the CT just to be on the safe side but thinks it’s probably related to the URI. Said there’s some kind of virus going around, not Covid, that keeps lingering on. Just waiting for insurance to approve. Hope you feel better soon and get great scan results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouT Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Barb, I'm glad you got to see the PA and yes...there are some viruses around lately that are not Covid and can cause the symptoms you describe. I look forward to hearing the final outcome and have all digits crossed that everything remains clear on that front. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
