I started this for us who are having serious health issues.
I have found out I have numerous small nodules on my lungs and an enlarged liver and spleen.
The next step the doctor says is to biopsy the nodules. I found out that the one test they use can cause your lungs to collapse so I am going to refuse to have that. They have another test called
a PET Scan that can light up the parts that are cancerous. I am going to opt for that and if they won't do that I just won't have anything done. I feel that I have no pain in my lungs although I
have been having blood in my throat some mornings.
As for the test on my liver I think I will allow them to do a biopsy if they do it the way the one clinic did it years ago. I don't know if my new doctor knows what he is talking about saying that by now
I should have cirrhosis after having scarring many, many years ago. Back then I was told the scarring might heal itself. I don't have yellow eyes or skin for one thing.
We will see what happens.
I have my mind made up the way I am going to handle this. All I ask for is prayers.

It seems every day I keep finding more friends who have ailments and it can be depressing.
