tests at National Jewish

[Guest guest]

Ok I got my schedule for Feb 1-5 when I go to National Jewish and I'm just wondering why they are doing some of these tests. Like the The Barium Swallow Study, and the Talored Barioum Swallow Study. Ok you know what, I know that I have acid reflux, gerds, what ever you call it. So really what is this going to tell me about my lung disease? The reason I am going is that it was suggested that I see and ILD specialist, before I go for transplant evaluation. which my pulmo dr. wants me to do. This has just gone really fast. Originally he thought I would be able to wait for 1-2 years and now he thinks I should go soon. Scares the s*** out of me. Because you really don't have time to swallow this crappy disease, and then they tell you that you need to go for

transplant evaluation soon. I just nee more info is anyone out there can help me
