Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lung, continual recurrences

If they have any covid symptoms, they should immediately get tested (and PCR test is the gold standard). If positive, they should call their primary care doctor immediately and tell them they have symptoms and make sure the doctor understands their health issues. In Minnesota (and I imagine elsewhere), the distribution of these FDA emergency approved medicines is controlled by the State, there are not enough drugs to go around, and they are distributed on a point system based on health conditions. And with my experience, realize this virus is far more contagious than people realize, take extra care including packaging and indoor spaces. Also check with doctor to see if they are eligible for the 4th dose(second booster)

Vic Am glad you are doing well. I'm impressed by the response you received once were diagnosed with Covid and getting the viral therapy to you. I'm in Minnesota as well and have tried to wade through the dept of health web site to understand how to get treatment if needed or what kind. Extremely confusing. So expect I would go to my primary care doctor which is Allina and/or try to see if my Mayo Hematology and/or Oncology doctors can help. Anyway, I hope I don't ever need it. Also, I have my 4th Moderna shot scheduled for April.
On another subject, Prior to my last surgery, radiation and ablation were also mentioned/offered as a treatment for my lung nodule. Merry has commented a bit on radiation but I don't see cryo ablation ( freezing the nodule) mentioned much in this forum. Am wondering if you or anyone else has experience or comments on this as a treatment. Thank you
