I had my video chat yesterday,long story short it’s a wait & watch situation, the Dr is thinking it’s probably not the bad thing but he wants to take another CT SCAN in 3 months & see what happens. He was very nice & informative & patient & I liked his manner, so I’ll try to be patient & positive 🙏🙏🙏Thanks for being there, it’s nice to be able to to communicate with others on here & not have to announce to personal friends what I’m going through, I’m a private person when it comes to discussing my health

@eternity28- I wish that my doctor had said, "it's not the bad thing" however I wouldn't have understood what that meant. Did you? I need for a doctor to be plain-spoken and tell me the truth. Waiting 3 months is prudent if it hasn't grown since the last one.

I must clarify that I am not making fun of the way you phrase your sentences, but rather the lack of clarity from your doctor. I just hate it when medical professionals use roundabout ways to describe a situation. It's lazy and unprofessional on their part. I encourage you to ask as many questions as possible so that you know what you are dealing with. It will help smooth over the waiting time and allow you to feel more in control.

What kind of doctor is he? Pulmonologist? Did he say why he didn't suspect that it was "The bad thing?"

Well I guess I phrased it wrong not him , he was very professional & I was the one that asked that question, what he did say was it could be but by looking @ my CT SCAN he definitely couldn’t say but he didn’t think it was & he wants to take another CT SCAN in 3 months to see what it will show & yes , he is a specialist in Pulmology & I’m sorry if I gave off the wrong impression of him , he is very well accredited & has great medical reviews & he works @ the May Clinic

@eternity28- All is fine, you were upset. I'm glad that you were able to ask him. It sounds like a positive direction! I certainly hope that he is right!
