Update on Trelegy v Fostair

[MoyB]

A few weeks ago I had a bad fall and required a CT scan of my chest. It picked up a few things that are being followed up and one of them required me to attend an appointment with my Resp Consultant at 9.00 am this morning!

I hoped he would also have time to discuss the issue I've had re the asthma nurse at the surgery wanting to change my inhaler from Trelegy to Fostair.

Well, we did discuss it and he is going to write to the surgery to explain that Fostair isn't the right inhaler for me and that, if I need a different inhaler in the future 'X' would be the one to change to (I can't remember the name).

So, it seems the CT scan picked up two lung nodules. My consultant is not concerned about the one in my left lung but wants more detailed info re the one in my right lung. If it's the same one that was previously identified, it may have grown - or it may have been scanned at a different angle, making it appear to have grown. It's likely that I'll have another scan in a few months time anyway.

i can only hope that the further examination of the nodules wil be good news . i have read recently about so many nodules being present and not being of significance but it will be worrying waiting. hope it doesnt take too long to find out.
