About Gary Expertise Will attempt to answer any question on respiratory disease, but please don`t ask me to make a diagnosis. Although I`ve worked as a respiratory specialist nurse in the UK for 6 years, I know nothing about the health systems of other countries. I have a particular interest in asthma, COPD, spirometry, and tuberculosis.

Answer Hi Connie
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, I've been away.
I really don't think that I can add anything or answer your question. The key to this is the next CT scan and the doctors' examinations. There's nothing that someone like me can advise through a forum like this.
