Pan, I think Bear just provided you with very positive news. Something very similar happened to my hubby last week, and he is scheduled for lung cancer surgery on Monday. We are hopeful he will be cancer free, like Bear.
Yeah, the horse is out of the barn, but we are both quitting the cigs. How about we start of TFP smoking cessation support group? Every previous attempt I've made to go cold turkey has produced a psychotic mad woman, so I'm going to try the patch with lots of celery and carrot sticks. Are you game?
The pulmonologist is the expert that you should be listening to, and please follow his recommendations. You might run up a debt, but your good health is worth it imo. Checking your VA benefits was another good idea by Bear.
If you are anything like the control freak that I am, jump on google and learn everything you can about sarcoidosis and TB treatments. Have a list of questions ready for the specialist so that you don't feel like a deer in the headlights. It worked for me last week, so I hope it will also work for you.
Hang in there Pan. Like Bear said, we have your back.
