Still waiting..

3 men in front of me. He takes 30mn per patient. They all have idiopathic fibrosis. Interesting to speak with them. They have worked with lethal products like pesticides or smoked or have had a genetic mutation..

Such is life..

My oh my, you’re right! But Michael Miles suddenly looks a bit younger, like policemen today, I suppose!

Gosh, that’s taken me back...I know it was ITV and we didn’t have that exciting channel for years....but I guess I was still in my knee socks!

Thanks, Skis 😘 xxx

Yes Pete he is worth the wait. I last saw him in January 2017 but he does answer his emails. The only thing is the others doctors don’t listen or want to take instructions from him or they think they know better. I have never seen such a mess so I am going to ask permission to attend this hospital when I am sick. I can do the 2 hour journey no problem.

You must be there now. I hope it’s going well 🤞

It’s good he takes 30 minutes per person. There’s at least a chance of a proper consultation.

Thinking of you Fran xxx good luck with your lam consultant xxx

Hang on in there. Thinking about you x🌹

All the very best dear Fran. If you are like me I get hyped up to the eyeballs about seeing doctors but —- bizarrely —- my stress manifests as very calm and it “normalises” my symptoms so that I am never SOB when I see doctors.

Looking forward to hearing the outcome. Fingers and toes crossed.

I agree, let’s hope he will prescribe necessary medication to clear the infection. I’m sure your in safe hands with him, a real expert!

My husband got this from taking docetaxl for prostate cancer. He lasted just 3 weeks in intensive care. I believe some people do not die so quickly but after trying antibiotics and steroids we were told there was nothing that could be done and he was in intensive care with an oxygen mask all the time and morphine. If you hear of anyone who had the same thing but survived I would be interested to hear about it. i believe if X-rays had been taken between chemotherapy treatments it might have been detected before it was lethal. This risk was not explained to us although he had a card saying to phone in if breathless, we had no idea how serious it could be
