Hi,
I think that I am CF carrier. Symptoms: frequent and easy gets gold and flu, if I gets one it goes as bad cold. Recently I got bullious pneumonia after one flu, microbes had been checked and found streptococcus and treated easily. Now I was suggested to remove my right upper lobe where's scar. I got my oxygen level in my lung and blood measured and result was good. I afraid if I go under ULR, my breath would be shortened. In few words, I afraid that I will go from normal and OK to bad. I need a doctor's advice and opinion on whether ULR is necessary.
thank you very much.
