Hi All,
Sorry I took so long to write back about the results of all the 6 week post treatment studies. It's been a little crazy with Dr. stuff and we went to visit family in AZ for memorial weekend in the middle of it all. It was a wonderful time in AZ visiting Larry very fun family!!
First of all Dr. Rigberg called me Tues. after the Monday CT scan of my chest, abdomen and pelvis. He said I had a condition in the small bowel that showed part of it going into itself, like a telescope, he described. So he set me up for a barium study on Wed. to check closer in that area. And, thank-you Jesus, it showed all looked back to normal. Also the CT scan showed that my left lung looked like it was showing some shading. It could be scarring from the radiation or another condition called Radiation Pneumonia. He asked if I had a fever or if I was short of breath. I was not. While in AZ I started to get a low fever in the 99's and low 100's with achy joints and pain in the lungs with a deep breath. So I called Dr. Rigberg and he told me to take an anti-inflammatory Aleve. He said if I get short of breath and start to run a fever over 101 then go to the ER. I thankfully did not need to do this.
Today I had a scheduled appointment with Dr. Rigberg to go over the study results in detail. The bone scan for my hip all looked just fine. If I keep getting pain in my hip I need to do an MRI on the hip next. Also the MRI on my brain was all right with no problems. Probably just allergy related headaches like I suspected. Dr. Rigberg is ultra thorough. Back to today. Dr. Rigberg listened to my lungs. Didn't say anything sounded bad or good. Asked where the pain was specifically when I took a deep breath, my lower right back and whole lung area. He wanted to rule out a pulmonary embolism. This is a very serious thing I guess. So he sent me to get another scan right away called a CT angio gram. It was basically to get a closer look and the arteries in the lungs to make sure there are no blood clots. Since no one has called me telling me to get right to the hospital here 4 hours later, I think it is safe to assume I do not have that in Jesus name!!
Tomorrow he has me seeing a pulmonary specialist to see what is up with the shading in the left lung. If it is an infection it will need to be treated with a serious steroid called prednisone. I really do not want to take this. I was reading about it and it sounds yucky!! I am believing for the Lord Jesus my healer to make this all go away. I am reporting this to all of you to believe with me in the Lords healing.
Thank you all for bearing with me for such a long update. I appreciate all your prayers and faith!!
Love and Hope, Peggy
P.S. Is. 53:5&6..remember folks, because of His wounds I am healed!!!!!!!!

Do you know who your lung specialist will be? My local pulmonologist is Dr. Bernstien and he is absolutely awesome. I am praying for the shading to be nothing, for the pain to go away completly, and especially for you not to go on any STINKY PREDNISONE! I was on prednisone for a very long time and it was HORRIBLE! I was up to 145mg a day and it didn't even do ANYTHING for me! In Christ's healing name I pray for you to be done with this whole situation! I love you and am here if you need anything. Oh, and praise God for no embolism! I have undergone that scan various times and know the prayers that must have gone through your mind, PRAISE THE LORD!
