hi everyone just update on somethings going on

wanted to post that I had my Bronchoscopy today. I did ok until the last 5 minutes where I coughed up a lot and felt as I was going to die. It hurt so bad and was horriable.The dr says it took longer then expected and that some of the numbing stuff may of wore off. I was given something to calm my nerves before we started but it didnt work to good. I watched it on the Tv the whole time. But I did ok until last 5 minutes when I could start feeling everything. My dr says I was a trooper and did good.

He was unable to get to the one mass that worries him but was able to get a whole lot of fluid ( which was brown he says this concerns him but were hoping it is just a really bad infection) and able to get cells with the brush thing.

Also he got a lot of good pictures. I had red and white blotches and he was able to get a lot of good pictures of this. he says this is not normal at all. It looked pretty nasty! He gave me a picture of it but my scanner is broken and the picture i took of it with my camera didnt turn out to good.

He said it will take 8 weeks to get the full result but were get some results as early as the 12th.( but not all of them)


I've lost 10 pounds in the last 2 weeks ( i neeeeeeed to lose weight but not from being sick!) now i am 35 pounds from my weight goal but wish i was not losing weight because i am losing it for the wrong reasson. he wants me to start drinking some shakes in the morning.

Although the Bronchoscopy hurt (the last 5 minutes) I really do like my Dr I know it just didnt go as fastly as planned and he had to spend a lot more time in there then he thought he would of.

On a personal note Skip had his shooting test yesterday and passed with flying colors

My dr did this he was very worried as I am young *28* and we are going to find out right away what all this is , what is making me sick and get it taken care of as soon as we can.

I also have to go to a kidney Dr for the 20x28 mass on my kidney.

Were not sure if i'll beable to have surgery on the 18th ( depends on if the brown fluid is infection) if it is were have to push surgery back. this would be very bad as I am in a great deal of pain from the masses in my belly


Ok i am sorry. I am going on and on

Don't be sorry for talking about your condition. Only those who have faced what you are facing can truely understand how you are feeling. The positive attitude that you are exhibiting is your greatest asset. Being able to talk about this is something many people couldn't do. Keep your head and spirits up. Good luck. You will be in our prayers.
