Thank you Barbara and Paul.
I have set up an appointment Monday morning with the clinic doctor to collect my Xray and recommendation letter. Then will go straight to the Hospital, they have an Internal respiratory department besides Hemotology, newcomers appointment on Monday afternoon.
I think I should tell the Respiratory about my MDS, so that any drugs they prescribe can be taken into account. I heard that anti-biotics will lower my already low WBC.
(WBC 2.8)
Should I give them a print of my recent blood counts just in case? I don't know how inter-departments in hospitals work, so is it the patients job, or could I ask them to cc a copy of the new xray findings to the hemotology dept? I really don't know how doctors from different departments communicate. Any ideas?
After Monday, I will surely have more questions when I know what it is they "suspect" my lungs have. Please bear with me.
By the way, Monday is my birthday, 51. What a way to spend a birthday
.
Thank you Barbara and Paul for helping me to focus on my priority, MDS.
Meri.
