I can not believe, how quickly two years have past.
I will be flying to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. I will have tests scheduled, from 8:00am Monday 2-20-12 until Thursday 5:00pm 2-23-12. They will start with blood test, xrays, an EKG. Then I will have a breathing test, Bronchoscopy and Biopsy of my lungs. Next they will check all organs, for possible effects from my medications. Then I will see a Dermatologist, to check for skin cancer. Because my lower immune system, I have 10 time more chance to get it. Finally the Trasplant Team will meet with me, to go over all the results of the tests. If all goes well, I sould be home Thurday night.
Depending on the results, I hope to start my new journey and Foundation. My goal is to make the words, Pulmonary Fibrosis as well known as Cancer. They are both terminal diseases. Anyone can get it, because they do not know what causes Pulmonary Fibrosis. For that we need funds, for research and testing facilities. I would also like to bring Doctors, as good as those at Mayo Clinic to Texas. So we do not have to travel, halfway across the country for quality care. A place where all countries, would be able to come and be treated as well. It is a big journey, but I hope to see it in my lifetime. Until next time, Peace and Blessing to All.
