So sorry to hear of your son’s loss but glad everyone is OK. It seems god has put some natural disaster in every part of the world to shake up our lives.
I too have elevation of my right hemidiaphragm and scarring in the lower lobe caused by the sacrifice of my right phrenic nerve during the open biopsy of my neck. This is when my breathing problems started and there is nothing they can do to permanently fix this issue. The only thing that seems to help is when my pulmonologist puts me on a round of prednisone to reduce inflammation in my lungs. I don’t know if this would help you, but I thought I would mention it.
I think about you, my neck node sister, often and do hope the new cocktail works. Thanks for the information about neck lymphadema. I read recently, maybe even on this site, that they have a new laser treatment for lymphadema. I wonder if this would help you too????
