glad i speak a little german

[ian anderson]

Hope you have great success with your new German specialist, Ian, and I'm sorry to hear about the stenosis coming back so quickly. What did they say that they can do about that?

tnx jan im sure they want to keep things as simple as possible and he said more balloon dilation ah well just have to go with that take care jan Ian xx

[ian anderson]

Ian your wonderful spirit will get you through this, love your positive attitude. I am too glad you are seeing a good specialist. Your in good hands Ian.

tnx elephant im ready for this anytime my scottish spirit is ready to war with it hope im not too rough with old weggie lol take care Ian

[ian anderson]

Hang in there DEEx

tnx dee im looking forward to their new approach take care Ian xx

[ian anderson]

Ian,
Glad you have found someone who seems to know what they are talking about. The treatment regimen he describes sounds very similar to the one I was on.

well lets hope so im sure he knows what to do after all he is german lol tnx jack take care Ian

[ian anderson]

Ian,
I wish you the best. Your German specialist sounds like he knows what he is doing. Usually the cyclo and preds can help to back off Wegs from the critical point. I am wishing you a Happy 48th Birthday early and hope to wish Happy Birthday again on your 48th Birthday. Hang in there and know that we are thinking of you.

tnxs lightwarrior and for early birthday wishes well appreciated even though i dont celebrate birthdays lol you have a drink on me ill send you some real scottish ale i will i promise and you can have a drink on me take care Ian

[ian anderson]

Happy happy birthday, Ian!

lol tnxs lola xx

[ian anderson]

Ian, I'm sure glad you're getting care from someone who knows what he's doing. At last!

Now enough of that 50/50 talk. Many of us have been at Death's door so many times we can give tours, and we're still here. You will be, too. Your new doc is going to find the right combo of drugs that works for you, and it'll work fast enough.

I'm not wishing you an early Happy Birthday. If you wanna hear it from me, you're just gonna have to show up on the right day. Hugs to you, my friend.

tnxs sangye your an inspiration you really are are you sure you dont have any scottish roots lol take care buddy Ian

[ian anderson]

Ditto to what Sangye said Ian. I'm glad to hear that you have a good new doc on your team. That can make a huge difference.

tnxs pberggren yes he seams well into his work he just decided one day to have a look into my notes and found some inconsistincies and decided to see me hope it was some kind of spiritual help he got i know youll appreciate that pberggren tnxs agn for your kind words Ian

[ian anderson]

Ian im still trying to get to some kind of remission change drugs as often as socks ! recovering still from blood clots in lung but the one thing that keeps me going is one day at a time and looking forward to my birthday bq this week and listening to these guys on here ,
glad you found a new doctor look forward to wishing you a happy birthday hold on in there DEEx

tnxs agn dee i hope you have a lovely day for bbq and ill keep you posted on any news take care Ian xx

I thought that the "50/50" comment was rather pessimistic unless he was talking about achieving full remission. There are some pretty sick members on the Forum and we have only lost the odd one or two over the years mainly due to poor diagnosis or treatment. If you are in the right hands, most people's prognosis is good these days even if they are quite ill to begin with.
