The results of the Rome consultation resulted in good news, but to some degree I’m getting whiplash from the conflicting medical information and opinions. The pulmonary oncologist in Rome said that she thinks that the treatment that she has in mind would work to get rid of the cancer. I don’t even know what to make of that given what the U.S. doctors have said. Plus, like the doctor that I’ve been seeing for the treatment these past months in Verona she thinks that the pain and fatigue that I’ve been feeling as a result of all of this is excessive. She has ordered a Spirometry procedure which measures the functioning of the lungs vis-à-vis the airflow into and out of the lungs. WWWWW –TTTTTT-FFFFF???? NOBODY THOUGHT TO ORDER THIS BEFORE NOW?!?!??!? Well, okay, I guess better late than never. Plus maybe we find out something worthwhile.
