Hi Chelee,
First I want to wish you a peaceful New Year.
You sound so strssed from all that you are expierencing.
I am glad that you have an appt. on Monday with the lung dr.

Please give this some thought to help you feel better
(easier said than done)...you had a PET scan 7 months ago..which was clear, that is a great sign.

Second you do not have any other symptoms happening (besides the shortness of breath)..that would be a red flag that something is happeing.

Weight Loss,
Coughing that Does not go away
Any bloody or rust colored phlegm
lumps near the surface of the skin
loss of appetite
weakness

While we all know early detection increases our treatment choices...let's look at the positive side that your last scans were clean and you have remained on top of your care....please try to relax until Monday's visit
(I know once again easier said than done). I do feel both your dr. upset you so much now that you are deeply worried.

We tend to notice each small ache and pain after our bc dx and maybe we think the worst. Please let us know on Monday how your visit went. In the meantime try to be kind to yourself and assure yourself you are on top of your health care and all will be taken care of.

Sending you warm hugs and good wishes for the New Year...I am so sorry you have to wait the weekend.

Regards
Jean
