Update on me.

So it's been a while since I posted here.

Still waiting to see a pulmonologist. That will be happening in June provided there's no cancellations or delays because of industrial action.

Had spirometry done both FEV1 and FVC were 91. Not indicative of airway obstruction. Relieving and frustrating at the same time as I am still having breathing difficulties. Will discuss with pulmo. Been off the fags and nicotine now for 3 months yesterday.

Had an ultrasound done on armpit last week. Apparently one of the lymph nodes is 3 times the size it should be and there's other abnormally enlarged nodes as well. Need an urgent biopsy which I am both dreading and eagerly awaiting.

If you read all of this, thank you, and I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Best wishes- I hope the biopsy reveals nothing too serious and that the pulmonologist can help you with your breathing difficulties. The spirometry tests don't reveal everything.
