Dave (Pre-diagnosis) “ This is too cool. It's almost SILLY that things can be this easy. I am having a very good patient/customer experience so far.”
Hi - there are several things I want to go over when we meet. I suspect several will require referrals, and given the time it takes to get a slot, I'm thinking of making those appointments now. (It's easy to cancel and create an opening for someone else.) I'm 56 and I generally don't have any complaints. Here are the symptoms I'm concerned about: […] What do you think?
The Visit
The Incidental Finding Incidental finding: Shadow indicates mass in  upper lobe of right lung X-ray taken  Jan. 2, 2007  by orthopedist to diagnose rotator cuff disease
The Incidental Finding INDICATION: Right shoulder pain. COMPARISONS: Comparison is made to a chest radiograph from December 23, 2003. TECHNIQUE: Right shoulder, three views. IMPRESSION: 1. Degenerative changes of the acromioclavicular joint. Normal radiographic appearance of the glenohumeral joint. 2. 3.3 cm right upper lobe lung mass needs further evaluation with a chest CT to exclude malignancy. Radiology report as  displayed on PatientSite
The Work-up, Diagnosis, and Support
Lesion 1 – Left Upper Lobe 39x43mm Note: This is the left lung – opposite side from the lung in the x-ray

ACOR is great. I posted two messages tonight and got responses in 4 and 11 minutes. One responder also sent a private note mentioning Robin and Cathy. The other responder was Cathy. :) Through that list I've also found several other useful sites.
