COPD

Well, been to see pulmanologist today. Had breathing tests done and xrays. He reckons i have never had COPD despite it being on my records for years. However there is a shadow on bottom of left lung which he thinks is a fatty deposit. He has booked me in for a CT scan . He is getting together with my endroconologist to investigate why my thyroid levels are not done on nhs as further investigations are needed. He was the lovliest doctor i have ever met. took ages to go through all my queries and is going to see me again in 4 weeks. . i didnt ask what would happen if i had to have an operation. i need to build myself up to face that turmoil.

I'm sorry you've had no replies, Elvera111.

I'm glad you've found an empathetic doctor and that he is also helping you to get your thyroid treatment on NHS.
