A broncospopy on the 20th?

And then a pulmonary function test on the 27th?

All these people do is test me. I have yet to have any treatment. I told my doc about my symptoms and that I thought I had lung cancer on the 26th of July. I am going to die before I have any treatment at all.

With redundant lab work and diagnostics to come up with your appropriate recovery plan.

Try not to stress yourself as you negotiate the process towards your wellness. It is easy to say,.. but more difficult to do. But your immune system and recovery systems will get a major boost.

Don't fight your healing process. But rather nature it and embrace it - with all of the might you can muster.

and helpless. My oncologist is wonderful... Monday I have bloodwork scheduled, then the doctor will look it over and see if I am to resume chemo shots that day. It's just not that hard, doctors!!!! Last week, I had bloodwork on Tuesday and was back Wednesday for a blood transfusion. Jeez, if my medical caretakers can get things coordinated, everyone's can!!!!
