Well we went to the Pulmonologist today. He said he called us to come in to see him because the testing on the pleural fluid came back as atypical mesothelial cells in pleural fluid. He says we need to get to Uk Transplant center as soon as we can. He says the doctors in our area don't like to take care of this kind of illness . This doctor told us the doctors in our area don't want to spend the time on the terminally ill. This doctor also told us He does not recommend getting the fluid drained anymore. He says it is very bad and drains the protein out of the body. Oh my goodness! He is Bill's lung doctor and did not care that Bill could not talk without coughing and hard to breathe. I asked this doctor should I drive the 2 1/2 hours to UK medical center ER and he would not answer only would say "when you do get down there to stay with those doctors. We are so confused as to what do do now. I think I'm going to call the UK medical center in the morning and also call his family doctor here in town. I don't think bill can wait 2 more weeks for our appointment at UK transplant center . He can't breath.
Sorry for my ranting.
Dorothy
