Kamoto- Good morning. I love Colleen's suggestion about getting on a waiting list. I've had lung cancer for 24+ years and one time, recently, my hospital couldn't get me in for a CT scan. I had to go to another approved hospital. CT scans are like gold right now.

Covid really put a damper on available doctors, trained technicians, and others who run medical facilities. I know that you are angry and feeling scared. I sure was. If I were you, to help burn off some of your angst, I would take this time to do as much to build up your endurance as possible. Are you able to get out and walk?

Would you mind telling me some of your history and why your lung cancer and Mets are so advanced prior to seeing a doctor?

And I have read that the contrast media needed for CT scans with contrast is in short supply due to supply line issues, and therefore they are being rationed. Fortunately, our lung nodules don't require contrast
