My Medical Update
Well as some of you know i had some bad news on my chest x-ray.
ive now been to see the specialist (nice man Professor Geddes at the royal brompton hospital) He has diagnosed that i 90% have an old case of Sarcoidosis (flu like virus that scars the lungs when your body kills) apparently quite a few people have this and never find out till they do an x-ray..
he is 90% sure that it is inactive and should be ok.
Yesterday i had a tube shoved down my throat to take a reading of my lungs just to make up the final 10% so hopefully that will be ok.
My agent assures me that everything is ok and all will be well and all this may do is delay the procedings if they require me to wait 6 months to confirm that it is old !!!!
so thanks for all your good wishes, hopefully everything will be ok ..
