New diagnosis.

Emphysema, COPD, nodule on left lung, right lung is full of some kind of infection.  This according to the Pulmonologist.

I am on 2 strong antibiotics, 2 inhalers, another round of steroids.

The Dr. wants to clear all this up and then do a pulmonary function test and a walk test.

Meanwhile I'm doing Chantix (generic) and nicotine lozenges to stop smoking.

Some OTC stuff called NAC that is supposed to loosen things up.  Tessalon pearls to quieten cough at night so I can sleep.

Full on CT scan in January.

Git 'er done, Jim. Good luck with the smoking. Stay strong in your resolve. Holding good thoughts for you!   

Do your best to get of the smokes.

I was a smoker but back in 2003 I was told I needed heart surgery. I gave up smoking cold turkey and have not had a smoke since. I cannot even stand the smell of a smoke now.

All the best

Wow, so sorry to hear.........I will say a prayer for Jim.........that is one good man there! God will be with ya Jim     

Prayers for you and yours.
