Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 We got a letter via FedEx today from Cleveland Clinic. It had a schedule of appointments for the tests that Dr. Rice had ordered for my husband (gastric emptying, another Ba swallow, chest and abdomen CT scan and pulmonary function tests). What's involved in the gastric emptying test? I know I've heard others discuss it in the group before. They have that scheduled before the barium swallow, and then later is the CT scan (busy day for him). Also, any idea what's involved in a pulmonary function test? Probably just blowing into a tube or something? My husband is anxious to see the result of that. He worries that when he's coughing up fluid every morning, maybe some is coming from his lungs. Pulmonary function test will be done the next day, along with a consult appointment with Dr. Rice. in Michigan Quote
