Re: The SMACKDOWN continues!!
Alot of good news there! Yea! Regarding the "pneumonia". Remember when I had the unnecessary lung surgery? They were trouble shooting a chronic cough, my lungs lit up on scans and it was thought to be cancer. It turned out to be residual matter from a probably old pneumonia (which I dont recall ever having!) My point, and I do have one(!), is that you very well may have residual things that are manifesting on the scan. Just might be old, not current. Have I made any sense?
Keep the faith!
