Re: Can this be possibly ok?

My situation was different in some aspects. But this is what happened to me. I had been finished treatment but had a chronic cough. My lung scans lit up in a few spots. Of course everyone concluded it was cancer. There was overreacting that resulted in unnecessary lung surgery Eventually biopsy revealed that it was an old chronic lung infection that could have been treated by antibiotics! So sometimes the simplist answer is the right one It's good to get other opinions
Keep the faith
