I just got released to drive again and then went to my pulmonary doctor for a routine visit... He sent me to get a CT scan of my chest which medicare has finally decide they would pay for... The results were not very good... The CT scan revealed 2 spots in the right upper lobe of my lung that normal chest x-rays didn\'t detect... One is 3 cm in size and the other is a bit smaller... After talking to my pulmonary doc we decided to have a CT guide biopsy of my lung... That is scheduled for Nov 23rd since I have to be off my blood thinners for at least a week before the biopsy and the biopsy doc is out of town next week... He and I both are most likely going to be in the deer woods but in our different areas I think... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I just wanted ya\'ll to know since some of you I\'ve know over the internet for a while now and some of ya are new friends... If you don\'t mind and do so, I would like to request your prayers for this Ol\' Arky...

I KNOW that God\'s will we be done in my life but it don\'t hurt to have folks lifting me up either... :D :D

Thanks for listening guys and gals...

Arky, will be thinking about you while going through these tests and such.

For what it\'s worth, my Dad had a lung transplant last year at 72 and surprisingly Medicare covered it all. Celebrated 1 year a couple of months back! He hasn\'t used oxygen since the surgery whereas it was 100% before.
 
Brief update... Not able to type very well but the test didn\'t go as well a expected and I\'ve been in the hospital since Monday with a collapsed right lung... As a matter of fact it collapsed twice... Long story but I\'m home not still no results of biopsy since they didn\'t get a sample Mon and finally got one Tuesday afternoon...

I should know more next week but after the collapsed lung twice I\'m have a hard time doing anything... :downthumb: :downthumb:
 
Sorry to hear about the lung, Phil! Good grief, don\'t you know you shouldn\'t be playing football with the grand kids! Really hope the news is positive on the biopsy!
