Hi my m-i-l has been breathless on slight exertion (and even not always on exertion) for over a year. She has had some gunk sucked out of her lungs and a bronchoscopy with a biopsy. about 4 months ago (didn't make her feel better). She has recently moved near us She saw a doctor at the hosp in her old area today who gave her a diagnosis and said "if you were staying near here we'd have you in every week for an infusion"
Anyway. M-i-l can't remember the name of the diagnosis she gave, or the name of the weekly treatment, but thinks it might have been steroids.
What could her diagnosis be? i really don't think she is hiding it, i think she just can't remember.
i wonder if it could be COPD or something else
i know it could be anything :)
she is extraordinarily vague about the whole thing - it's infuriating i *think* biopsy didn't show anything. can copd be diagnosed by biopsy anyway?
