Last wednesday I had a bronchoscopy. It was not a very fun experience. It was definitely something I don't want to ever go through again. I was sedated, but not put completely under, so I got to 'experience' everything UGH. They flushed out an infiltrate in my lower right lung. The doctors also took a piece of lung tissue to do a biopsy on, while they were in there.
Was a little woozy after the procedure, but no complications YAY
I have to wait a few weeks (i'm assuming) for the results.
They are testing for traces of cancer (lymphoma) and Tuberculosis (TB) and the TB test can take up to 6 weeks to get back. I'm not sure what else they are testing for.
I have to get a bone marrow biopsy done. I'm not looking forward to it, especially since everyone I talk to who has experience it or has known someone who has experienced it has told me that it's extremely painful. I figured as much, but having validation is really freaking me out. I'm having major anxiety now!!
They have to stick a needle through your bone and all they do is numb the outer skin!! AHHHH!!!
okay...well that's my med update.
