Well I was off to Cleveland Clinic to see Dr. Langford for my monthly check up (I have been on treatment since Sept. 15--mtx. and pred) feeling pretty decent. Only to have my hopes crushed. Went for my CT scan, blood work, ENT appt. (all was good), then Rheumy. It appears the nodules in my lungs are not cooperating w/ the treatment, well one in particular. One has decreased in size but a second one seems to keep growing. So now I will need a bronch??? basically where they go suck some fluid out of my lungs to rule out infection. If it is not infection then it is weighing out my new treatment options. I guess Cleveland Clinic is running a new drug trial...not sure if I will want to try something that is questionable? Plus I would need to go there many times over the next several months.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has experienced the above procedure or have had infections detected this way?
