Last Tuesday, I had a cat scan to determine if the spot on my lung ( since November 2011 ) has changed any. Went for discussion today, my lung Dr. says the spot is exactly the same, no growth or change...I don't have to go back for 6 months and that will be an xray. He also admitted He may have jumped the gun on dx of copd, I have not used the inhaler he prescribed for 4 months, and my breathing is easy, 98% oxygen...no shortness of breath...I'm sure that stopping the smokes has a large part to play in this...smoke free since November 1st,2011 Happy Anniversary to me and my lungs
