Leah,
I have benign lung "things" too. Lots of bronchitis and pneumonia in my past, so no big surprise.

I agree with the SOB and tingling being the possible manifestations of anxiety...you're certainly entitled to as much of that as you want/need! If you have that Ativan...maybe it's worth a try. At least in the short term...to get symptom relief. Works wonders for me sometimes.

Your treatment updates, and the team you've described so far seem to have been top-notch. I hope that continues and that you get some answers and relief sooner rather than later.

Deep breaths, try to stay calm...easier said than done...
Prayer and hugs headed your way!
Denise
