My C&P for lung disease lasted abou 6 hours.. PFTs cardio-pulmonary testing, blood test, chest x-ray plus sent back for a PET scan to see if anyhing was active. It was a long day. So relax

James,

I just finished helping two vets with claims for asbestos exposure and I have tons of information from my research. If you want it, it's yours.

Have you been diagnosed with asbestosis or interstitial pulmonary fibrosis?

Thanks Carrie, Right now the condition is asbestos related lung disease (Emphesema). I am a life long non-smoker. I really need to know how to honestly and truthfully conduct myself at the c/p exam. Tell me what you can. It was discovered using a nuc/med infusion lung scan. Nothing shows up on a chest x-ray.

Regards, Jim

Riverman,

May I send some attachments to a private address? I think attachments might take up Hadit.com's bandwidth. (I'm not sure about that though, because I know little about bandwidth. Probably several geeks are snickering right now. LOL) Anyway, I can send you the info I have, which includes the Clinician's Guide about exams.

If you would like me to do that, just let me know the address to use.

Carrie
