@jessie1990 I just changed Dr.s because my lung nets are showing some growth and I felt like I had no guidance except getting a chest scan yearly. Just had new Broncoscopy with biopsy because several have grown more than usual and I will find out recommendations today for treatment from new Dr.
Please call them and see why you are not being scheduled!
I have dropped the ball on several health issues I should have never let go in the past and now it seems I am lucky if I ever get past the AI bot answering the phone.

@lisaonthegoco I hope your visit with the doctor today went well? Was a treatment plan discussed?

@jessie1990 yes I have had 2 previous Broncoscopy’s first and third were biopsies. Whew, still normal non functional but lots of them all within both lungs. 3 are getting approach the larger than is ok so I have been recommended to take “the shot” every 28 days.
Oh goody! Not starting right away.
Need 1 normal month with no medical worries before I get scheduled in for every 28 days.

@tomrennie yes, darn it! It’s “the pain in the rear” option every 28 days to hopefully stop the getting any bigger for 3 close to my airway.
Did not get scheduled right away for going to the hospital but intramuscular. Just glad nobody in there is emitting any extra hormones so mine are non functional.

@lisaonthegoco may I ask how long you have nets??

They were discovered when I was about 45 y.o. And I am 70 now. I had imaging followed closely for a few years back and then the breathing tests and told light asthma but inhalers never helped. My pulmonologist quit reminding me to come in. I caught bronchitis every time I got near anyone smoking and so often that when I got yellow/ green I called my PCP Dr. and was prescribed without even visiting. Then Covid hit with oximeter purchase and I discovered that I was desaturating up and down a lot -not coughing more or less than usual but since the big concern was oxygen…I was sent to National Jewish here in Denver. Next thing I know I had to have a sleep study and got a CPAP with oxygen and also told oxygen during the day every day. Further study with the pulmonologist became a Broncoscopy with biopsy and a discontinue of oxygen during daytime to only wear with exertion. I have been followed once a year with imaging ever since and lucky me I had another Broncoscopy but no biopsy between then and now and more inhaler tries that just make me cough more and now latest results show Stage 4 meaning NETS all over my lungs, non functional but now need to stop the 3 biggest near an airway to quit growing. That’s what I know and am dreading the scheduling of a shot every 28 days.

@lisaonthegoco so what does stage 4 nets mean is that still treatable?

REPLY

Dr. said Stage 4 means the NETS are all over my lungs so will never be operable. Stage 4 in other context that I have read means Cancer and beyond lymph nodes. I don’t know why he gave that classification as he didn’t explain the scale he was using. It is University of Colorado here in Denver,CO
I only looked that up today…

@lisaonthegoco is he confident the shots every 28 days will manage it for you?
