X ray

[Madbiker1]

I have been on dupilmab for 18 months. I have not had steroids for 18 months and administer it myself. I have eosinophilic asthma.I had to go back to the asthma unit for a review. My spirometry was much better than last time but my FeNo remained high. Bloods done as well.

I had a phone call a few days ago - consultant wants me to have a chest x ray - my eosinophils were high as was my FeNo. I have had a cough for over 12 months that I put down to the dupilimab not being as effective as prednisone. I told the nurse about the cough.

I last had a chest x ray about 18 months ago - I am able to view the results online but I never checked until last night - the results mentioned possible scarring on lower lung.

To be honest this had made me a bit apprehensive.

Lung scarring is fairly common, any lung infection can cause it. I have a fair bit of scarring caused by possible TB, confirmed pneumonia etc. my consultant is not worried about my scarring, at least they are keeping an eye on you

I hope the x-ray shows there is nothing much to worry about.
