Lung nodules & scared!

Hi all, So I went to my appt with thoracic surgeon the other day and he was concerned my voice isn't back yet but he thinks it still may come back? I told him about the Infectious Disease Dr(which he knows), and told him of fungus meds he put me on and he thought it wouldn't be necessary yet but thought for a couple months it would be ok.i told him that the other Dr had my refills for 8 months and he was surprised bc he said that med can be worse than chemo?So I told him I wanted a second opinion and he agreed and he would talk to my Dr . Well Infectious Dr had his office call me the next morning and tell me he was referring me to University of Chicago and there was nothing more he could do for me! So he fired me!! WTHeck! I called the surgeon back and he was setting up an appt for me with a different Infectious Dr. I told the Nurse my ins wont cover out of state and she said I could go to IU Medical in Indy but it was up to me.When I asked about this fungus med I didn't get a straight answer on what to do so I'm stopping it bc its making me sick to my stomach.I should know something on my appt with new Dr this week.Stressed!

@pattymac I'm sorry that your appointment raised more questions than answers and left you in a quandary. I'm sure you were not expecting that. Please let us know when you get the new appointment scheduled, we will be thinking about you. Teresa
