I saw my excellent respiratory doctor yesterday and he was quite pleased with me. The QVAR is helping with the inflammation, most of the lung nodules are lymph nodes, just one slightly concerning one so I will have another scan in October, the collapsed part of my right lung has reinflated but I am to be assessed for ambulatory oxygen. He is adamant that I need to stop the dronedarone I take for AF as it is damaging my lungs further and will get on to the cardiologist again. I am going to have to have something done about the aortic stenosis but no decisions about that, until I get the appointment with the cardiologist. He is going to arrange a fit to fly assessment but doesn't think there should be a problem. He did tell me the bronchiectasis is severe and is probably what led to the obliterative bronchiolitis. One thing he did say was that if I had smoked we wouldn't be here having these conversations. Quite a thought. We came home for a brief rest and then had a lovely time helping my grandson make pancakes. Best bit of the day! I am absolutely shattered this morning and had to use my GTN spray, but nevertheless feeling much more confident.
