i have had several procedures/test in the last month to clarify some weird things happening. my pulmonologist called yesterday with the results of those tests.
apparently, i have another auto-immune thing going on. it is microscopic polyangiities (MPA), which is a type of vasculitis. although it can affect other organs, my lungs are affected the most. several new lung nodules have been growing in recent months, but he doesn't think it's cancer. other weird symptoms now make sense with this diagnosis.
i return in six weeks for more tests and in three months for another ct scan.
the prognosis: not sure. the emotional impact: not sure.
for now i am 'up in my head' about most of this. more later....
