I would call your doctor to go over the results...
Thank you for rescuing!! I'm a "chihuahua" lover. I do co-own a K-9 bomb dog, which is a labrador. Dogs are the best!! I understand what you are saying about eating something and it not bothering you...
Food is very individual. Keep a diary of the foods you eat and what agrees with you and what triggers issues. On another note, what kind of puppy do you have?...

I'm very sorry for your loss. It sounds like you are very depressed. I would try to cut back with the tv dinners, cereal and canned soups, as well as the snacks. Go slow. Make a big pot of homemade...

Going for my echo today. I'll update later........
Welcome to the forum!...
Yes, the thunder storms were crazy!!...
Happy and healthy New Year to everyone!!...
Cardio doctor was very good. He told me that the "trace' fluid around the heart is normal, especially after lung surgery and everything looked good. He suggested an echogram (spelling) which I told...
Going to Cardio doctor today since my last cat scan showed "trace liquid around the heart". I've been reading up on this on the Mayo Clinic site and it's a common thing. Also, my lung surgeon and...

Old Hat: Thanks for the info re: Mayo Clinic. That's where I go to read up on things. As far as my acid reflux goes, I'm going for a test January 8th. As long as I can be comfortable with the meds...
I only get the flu vaccine. That's it for me!...
love this!!!...
Happy Thanksgiving!!...
The scans will be every 6 months for a couple of years. My Oncologist told me that trace fluid around heart is normal and told me not to worry at all but I'm still going to a Cardio doctor. I also...
Clo2014: there is a fairly new blood test that tests the blood for tumor cells. Ask your oncologist if you can get it. I did. It takes around 6 weeks for the results....
My surgeon called yesterday. No cancer at all! He was pleased. He did say the cat scan picked up on "moderate Hiatal hernia". He ordered a test to see further. He asked me if I get acid reflux. I did...
Ask your oncologist about soursop tea. Soursop fights against cancer cells in the body....
Just got back from my lung doctor. He said the cat scan was fine, lungs are good. He said the "trace" fluid by the heart is not anything to be concerned about but if I wanted to, I could make an...
I'm going to my lung doctor tomorrow so I'll update after the visit. Next week I go to my Oncologist and I also have a phone call with my lung surgeon....

I'm thinking a sore muscle maybe?...
I've heard of it but I am afraid to try it....
A little more info on the 9/11 Victims Compensation fund...... a few people at my job retained a law firm and gave me the info. I contacted them and they are starting my case. What happens when all...
Thanks everyone!! I'll keep an update here once I see my doctor in a couple of weeks....
This one was done without contrast. I want to ask my doctor about doing a pet scan the next time. I think a pet scan is more precise. OR a cat scan with contrast....
First cat scan done......ALL CLEAR!! It also showed a little acid reflux which I already knew and a "trace" of fluid on the heart or lung (I have to go back to report to look) which I looked up and...
That sucks. I would call every day (if you can) until someone calls you back....
I'm going this Friday. I'll update once I get the results. Thanks!...

Sending out prayers for you!!...
Welcome back!...
Great news!!...
I hope you feel better soon!!...
I will and thank you!...
Did you try calling your doctor? I'm sorry you are feeling this bad....
UPDATE: Very very little coughing which is great! I also switched acid reflux meds. I take one 20 mg of Omeprazole every night before bed. What a difference! I feel so much better. So, in November...
