Thank you. I have nodules at base of each lower lobe but with last CT Scan they were unchanged. Had no idea what it meant. With Covid pulmonologist are so busy.

I agree Raney, all the medical personnel are very busy now, but that is not a very good long-term excuse, in my opinion. It only takes a few sentences in an email to explain what it means, and whether there is cause for concern, or just continue monitoring. They have to write it into your patient record anyway, so it could be sent to you as well.

In the past 2 months, I have been seen in3 different health networks, in the ER, by my PCP, gastro, gastro nurse, nuclear med, surgeon, hand doc and had surgery. In addition, I had a mammogram and EKG. In EVERY case, there has been an explanation filed and shared with me, by each doc or their staff, on every test and procedure.

I think if I were in your place, I would become more insistent about getting information communicated to me by the doc or their staff. Sometimes a few phone calls will lead them to do a better job at communicating.
