There were good answers to prayer at Monday's pulmonary appointment, which went very well. Thank you so much for praying! I'm quite relieved with what my pulmonologist determined after reviewing the ct scans taken two weeks ago. The pulmonologist believes that most of my breathing troubles are related more to bronchial and asthma issues rather than a serious lung disease. The ct scan also showed that I did not have advanced pulmonary fibrosis as we first thought. Instead, I have "non-progressive pulmonary fibrosis". Again, the low pulmonary function test result I had in January was most likely due to asthma. The two focal lesions (spots) I had on my lungs three years ago are still there, but have not grown in size. Since the Qvar inhaler wasn't effective, I'm now trying Symbicort. I have a follow-up appointment in two weeks.
