Pulmonary Appointment

Today was Phil's Pulmonary Appointment.
Who knew there was a doctors that sole focus was the lungs?!
Phil was pretty anxious for this appointment. With nodes (we were told 4) on his lungs, we didn't know what to expect.

The doctor was great! He had a personality, and a sense of humor.
He addressed both Phil's asthma and the nodes in his lungs.

Usually there is a reason or explanation behind asthma but Phil doesn't really seem to have any unusual reasons other than allergies. I don't understand all the medical stuff to explain anymore.

The nodes on his lungs- nothing to worry about for right now. They are too small to tell anything from the scans. They are smaller than the pinky finger nail. They aren't big enough for a biopsy. So the doctor ordered another CT to be done in 6 months.
If there are more of if they have gotten bigger, Phil will be given a sugar substance and then will be put through a PET Scan which tests strictly for cancer. But the doctor is 99% sure that these are benign, or even just scar tissue.

So nothing new to report. We don't need to go back to the Pulmonary doctor for another 6 months.

Glad to know that the nodes were nothing to be concerned about.
