My Next Endoscopy

I went to the UMMC for my chest follow-up yesterday. I also took the chest X-ray. After waited for 3.5 hours, it was my turn. The chest specialist checked my chest X-ray and weight, he told me that my lungs condition had improved and I also put on about a kilogram. :P

The chest specialist wanted me to go for another endoscopy in next Tuesday and to check if the bacteria in my lungs had gone after few months of medications. This is due to I could not provide phlegm for test. I am feeling a bit of nervous as I would have fewer after the endoscopy done every time. Moreover, I also could not drink and eat for 2 hours after the procedure done. L That would be a suffer for me.

Anyway, the chest specialist advised me to continue my antibiotic medications and after 2 months, I would have to go back for the follow-up and also to know the result of the endoscopy.
