@lorifilipek Absolutely. Do not fret and continue enjoy life as long as you feel fine. Make sure you are otherwise healthy by staying active and eating well. Just be vigillant and keep up your routine visits to your pulmonologist to make sure everything is in check. Worry about things that may or may not happen in the future is a waste of time and energy that we should direct to other worthy things in life.

@ling123 @ameliar I noticed that both of you have had sinus issues. Have either of you done nasal flushes? I used to do them every morning when I lived in the Denver area because of dryness and bad air pollution, especially in the winter. I stopped doing them when I moved back to Michigan (and Arizona in the winter) about 10 years ago. After reading your comments and ones in “Lung nodules & scared!” in the Lung Health group, it dawned on me that I should re-start my nasal flushes. Every morning I wake up with a somewhat stuffy nose, the feeling of stuff accumulating in my throat, and coughing. I did a flush this morning and got minor greenish phlegm. I’m wondering if the sinus drainage is going into my lungs during the night and is contributing to the greenish sputum I get once in a while from the coughing. Any thoughts?
