Valves on hold

Well I went hoping to set dates for my endobronchial valves but my upto date CT scan of two weeks ago is showing a 8mm nodule in my upper right lobe. Some increased thickening and a hernia pressing on my diagram.

So now a fresh CT and pulmonary function tests in 3 mths and told now only borderline suitable.

Feel very deflated and frustrated

I can absolutely understand your disappointment 1hopefuture ,so try not to get down hearted as you may have better results in 3 months time,that can put you over the blinking "borderline" .

Try and enjoy the Easter weekend!

As others say, it may be better news in 3 months time, so try not to get too downhearted. Best of luck and all best wishes x
