At this point, my CT scans will be every two years unless my situation changes. That's a good thing for me, since on the "off years" they can do my heart CT's (I asked and they cannot be combined 🫤)
My PFT's are checked at every visit too.
The only thing lacking at this point are 3 sputum samples good enough to culture, I could only produce one and it was negative - will try again when I get back to MN.

Thank you Sue. I don't know if you read where I posted about my decision to see a cardiologist due to the heart/lung relationship. Found out I have a leaky mitral valve.
So, interesting the way it is being handled for you with the heart testing and lung testing...alternate years. It was just this week that I truly gave greater thought to this C Scan testing. So much to know and think about....and discuss with doctors.....as YOU truly know.
I am seeing new pulmonologists this month to decide where and who it will be best for me to go and see for my BE since McShane moved on. With all I have learned, verses what I didn't know before early on in this journey, I now am prepared with questions to help somewhat in my decision, thanks to you and this Mayo site. Hope all goes well with my now knowing a bit more and wanting to be proactive in my decision making. Wish me luck...😉😂
