I have an appointment scheduled on the 12th of this month. They say to be there at 8AM & expect the appt to take 3 or more hours. It is about 3 hours from here to UCSF so we might spend the night there before. Not sure. They want me to bring the CD of the CT scan I had of my lungs & the actual slides of the biopsy tissue. They already have the results of all the tests I have had & the hard copies of all my Xrays. Hopefully I will know something soon. Other than waiting I am doing OK. What ever is going on with my lungs hasn't affected me yet. The only problem I have had is a little stiffness on my left side from the biopsy. I am sure that will go as soon as the stitches finish disolving & the small slits finish healing. Of course I couldn't escape with everything in good working order. When I had a biopsy of my lip to prove if I had Sjogren's, it left the center of my bottom lip numb. Now under my left arm just above the pit is numb & the center of my chest radiating toward the left side is partially numb like you feel if your foot goes to sleep & it *****les & stings when it wakes up. That part is uncomfortable but I guess I should count myself lucky that is all. Hopefully that will all get better as I heal more.
Well bless your heart. I didn't about your troubles until I read this thread because I haven't been around much. I will certainly keep you in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless and keep us posted.

I'm glad to hear you're doing OK, and waiting isn't killing you... but , I thought I'd bust a gut trying to figure out what "*****les" meant! Ah, Eve.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. My mind keeps going around in circles trying to think how to pray. I know I want a true diagnosis but I also want that diagnosis to be as good as I can get. Nothing selfish about me.
