I haven't been contributing as much to this forum as I am in limbo about my lung condition. I spent half a day in the hospital expecting to have a biopsy of a nodule 9 mm - only to be sent home because the radiologist was afraid of hitting the wall of my lung and my having a collapsed lung. While at the hospital, I had another cscan done and the nodule had gotten small 7 mm , the size it was in June.

Oddly enough, I have stopped coughing up phlegm too - or very little. I was getting sick alot at the beginning of the school year which was treated with antiobiotics. Then I had the flu shot and I really don't know what is going on other than I do know I have bronchiecticus which is a constant.

I am able to keep up with a long school day, but don't do any work once I am home - about 6 p.m. Today I pressure washed my house - well with a light weight Home Depot system and a hose - and was able to keep up a strong pace for six hours. I only pray I stay on this path.

I know I have to remain vigilant but spending every day worrying is a waste of quality life. I was already in a mindset that I had lung cancer which now I truly doubt. It's not worth worrying about possible outcomes until they are a fact. I wish you all good health and stamina as we head into the holiday season. Kathryn
