Newly diagnosed
For over 2 yrs I kept telling drs I couldn’t breathe. My lung function dropped from 78 to 50 and remains there. Pnuemonia 7x, covid3x, flu and other infection 1x. Finally las5 X-ray said “ malignan5 mass or pnuemonia “ and dr took notice. Ordered CTH scan, then bronchoscopy because my right lung was partly collapsed. Cleaned out mucus up to my trachea! Biopsies done no cancer thank God.
