Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hi everyone, Wish I had some happy news to share. I went to the U of MI today for my 3 month checkup, I knew it wouldnt be good because of how I've been feeling. I had the CT scan, high resolution and some breathing tests. When I finally saw the dr, he told me I had went downhill a lot in the last 3 months. He said my lungs are horrible, that the deck is stacked against me, and I'm in end stages. I asked him if I would see this Christmas, he said this one yes, 2007? NO. He gave me a year or less, said maybe till April. He said if I lost 60lbs and quit smoking ( yes I know, its a bad habit but I knew I was terminal) that I would eligable for a lung transplant. But that I had to have stopped for 6 months and he didnt know if I would last that long. He's taking me off the presidone, 10mg a week, fast and replacing it with Imuran, said the side effects are hard. Then he ordered me Bactrim, said I would have to be on that for awhile because I wont have any immune system. Then he ordered me N-AceAylcystine whatever that is. I'm so tired of drs, of pain, of hurting, I dont even know if I want a transplant, but I'm heartbroken at the thought of leaving my family. Sometimes I just want God to take me home....
