    Why don't you post your diagnosis? Nobody can intelligently help you unless you give more information. Also what is "hb?"

    I do not have mets so maybe shouldn't be posting, but I believe the lack of information from you could make responses difficult.

    I would suggest you check out not stage 4 but worried. Someone will come along with help

    NileLady - for heaven's sake...we've answered you in great detail in the other threads you've started. It doesn't help to just keep starting new threads. Your doc told you you had pneumonia but now that has been treated. It's my understanding they have ruled out pleural effusion. As I said - you need to either trust your doctor or go get a new doctor.

    KIra - she has already posted on Not Stage 4 but Worried.

    Here's a quote from one of her other threads

    In june 2017 i was diagnosed with pneumonia and given antibiotic injections. I had this shortness of breath that improved after treatment butnit fully gone.

    My dr insists it is pneumonia while i saw another one who wants me to repeat the x ray suspecting it is plural effussion belieing it can be cancer

    My oxygen is good no fever slight cough from time to time active but i still feel i am not 100% fine. My blood work is good

    I understand your fear. It sounds like you need a second opinion to put your mind at ease and get more definitive answers

    I echo KBeee, second opinion is a great idea,it will give you a piece of mind. It seems as if your are not convinced which is understandable, fear is a awful feeling.

    Guys - she's already had a second opinion. I'm not sure it helps to keep going from doctor to doctor. I understand the fears are real, but I think it's might be more important to see a PCP and get treatment for anxiety.
