Oh @dgulovsen, Your frustration comes through in your writing, and I feel for you. Not knowing and not getting answers to our questions is so hard. I would recommend writing out your questions, so you don't forget anything during the appointment, and sometimes, making a list like that can help to not go over and over the list in our heads. Once it's on paper or in the notes app on my phone, it can stop swirling in around my brain. It's great that the office was able to move up the pulmonology appointment. Do they offer a waitlist in case there is a cancellation? Each step in the diagnosis process takes time. My lung cancer diagnosis took 2 months from my first abnormal x-ray to my first treatment, and I was symptomatic. Hoping that you are able to get the appointments and the referral that you're seeking. Hugs.

its been 2 1/2 months since the first scan. It took 2 months to get in to the Pulmonologist. Then I was supposed to wait 6 weeks to get in to review the results- even though I can see all of the results online. Hopefully on Friday I will have some sort of plan. Just scared that its growing and is possible semisolid in the center. But maybe it was always this way and the first scan didn't pick it up well. I will post after I know something.
