Lung Anatomy ... Or DId A Veterinarian Read My CT Scan Of Abdomen Thorax Pelvis.

Haveing had few days to ponder why my doctor was so concerned with why I wanted copy of my contrast ct scan.

I can't help feeling this something quite not right WITH pathology of my disease OR did a vet interpret my results.

Anyway am having trouble digesting HOW can you have in there words : clacerfied right upper lobe Granuloma ... That is a big chunk of lung SO what is giving me trouble indigestion IS how can you have a new lung nodule appear on Granuloma.

I know it CAN and I know it's not good SO my second thought was they must mean the NEW elongated nodule must be on minor fissure THAT is also on my right upper lobe NOW here is where it gets interesting as that minor fissure is classed as plaura.

So reading threw the toff mis information I would say the Granuloma is caused by occupational exposer BUT becouse I have not been down pit for 40 years there dismissing my occupational exposer and trying to put my occupational lung disease ASBESTOS PNEMONACOSSES SILICOSIS down to some form of acceptable level of disease given age ( mean age ) S### broken work history.

That I can say is far from acceptable Also took some finding out but oblong elongated lung nodules is vet termolagy proper name for oblong elongated long nodule in humans is Elliptical

Hi Jeff, I can see your point of view....an ex coal miner with lung disease was a member of our Breathe Easy but he fought and failed to get any compensation.

Is there not a Asbestos campaign group that could help you...take care.

Hi knitter Is bone of contention with my lung doc ... I did list to ask him to confirm few things ... and he just ignored my list solicitor letters asking him to confirm few things.

Only thing my doctor ever confirmed was emphysema and bulla nothing about hole lobe Granuloma or Nodularity.

Hi again Jeff, I have just looked at some asbestos claims websites...I see what you mean about a doctors diagnosis.

My Breathe Easy miner friend had smoked as well which blurred his claim for industrial compensation..

Take care.

Hi years ago befour advent of tips doctors said the could see how tar effects the lungs .. I guess that's what they was talking about BUT weather he she smoked or not was not part of any employment contract so should have nout to do with any claim

Now with advent of tips and since the don't use asbestos tips is lot harder for them to make coursal link

Few doctors have mised that point when assessing someone young.

Hello Jeff

Have you ever had an official medical diagnosis of of Asbestos pnemonacosses silicosis ?

The Doctors are very alert to Asbestos exposure, no matter how many years ago, and the level of exposure is irrelevant.

With all your scans, l am sure they would have picked it up.

[Hidden in reply to velvet55]

Doctors are very alert when your 60/70 well that's if your heart not killed you first ... Like I said to my lung doctor I know what am coughing up and like asbestos law say's if the can't do camera down lung WHY they not accepting what am coughing up as cause of my illness.

If was bit mashed spud or penut am sure they would be to keen to accept that as causes of my dieases ... well rather than a school asbestos being cause of my diease

Hi Jeff

Age doesn't come into it.

As you have slides of your fibres, why not take them along with you for the experts to examine, and anyalyse or if you have lost them, take a sample in the next time you cough some up.

Surely that should let you know one way or the other.

[Hidden in reply to velvet55]

UK is not as free as people like to think .. Private labs will not test stuff you cough up ... and government will not exept private diagnosis scan findings

Things will come to a head WHEN NHS my doctor as to fish stuff out

[velvet55 in reply to Hidden]

I meant when you see your NHS consultant.

I thought you would have done that already.

[Hidden in reply to velvet55]

I have BUT the put it down mean age or contamanation.

So i kept my own slides AS govermeant NHS tend to lose stuff
