So far tests are all good and Dr finally called me.I am however slightly irritated because he asked me what the other Dr said after scope. Shouldn't they be talking to each other since my pulmonologist is the one who referred me to him? He told me I can wait a few months and follow up with a CT in a few months to see how its doing, go to a teaching hospital and try and find out what it is or go to a thoracic surgeon and have him Add to dictionary already tired of being poked at and asked my NP friend for an opinion and she said it could be an infection since they are ruling out by saying no evidence of malignancy so she suggested I see her friend(whom is a thoracic surgeon at Methodist Hospital in Merrillville), and bring everything with me to have him look at bc it needs to be figured out so its not hanging over my head. Any ideas?patty

Hi @pattymac, a second opinion is always a good idea. Going to a teaching hospital is a good step as well. Taking action, i.e., so it's not "hanging over your head" is important for your own well being. Isn't it great that there was no malignancy! That is such good news. Are you in a position to visit Mayo? Whatever action you decide to take, please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Teresa
