Have you had this procedure. Please give me your experience.

After waiting since last august eventually had MRI and CT suspected lung cancer.

I have been told to have bronchoscopy but since My reaction to ramipril causing Angioedema of airways my throat is very sensitive causing me to cough.

I freaked out when I read the information that by giving local anaesthetic in my throat you feel unable to breath. i spoke to sister at the clinic and said I prefer to have GA. At the moment they have no list for that.

Let me add that I was referred to healthshare last October. Up to date i haven't seen any one about it.
