Is There Another Possibility Posted: 12-28-06 00:10am
My mom, who is 63, was diagnosed with
asthma a year and a half ago but they have
tried many different inhalers and now have
a her on an inhaler (which she uses very
frequently) and nebulizer treatments 4
times a day. But she cant even shop with
out getting winded, befor this started she
walked 3 miles a day and was very healthy.
She is scheduled for her next appointment
with her dr next week. The have said they
are going to check for lung cancer. They
have already done lung xrays and they were
clear. The one thing that did seem to
give her relief was a steroid shot, but
her dr doesnt want to repeat that
treatment does anyone have any ideas that
may be a possible cause for her problems.
Id there something else the doctors
should check for?
