Visit to the Lung Specialist

We were sent to see a lung specialist because of some things that showed up on my CT-scan and because of the cough I've had for a month now. She feels that the cough is likely caused by allergies or sinus drainage, so she gave me a nasal spray that should help. She also looked at the CT-scan with a radiologist and believes that the areas of concern are inflammatory, most likely pneumonia, so she's prescribing an antibiotic. There is one very small spot in my left lung that could be a nodule (cancer), but may also be inflammation from the pneumonia. So, since I'm already getting the chemo to kill the cancer, she will likely wait to see if there's any change in that spot on the next CT-scan near the end of October. We are thankful that these issues appear to be minor and treatable, and I'm looking forward to getting rid of the cough.
