That's what he told me. They said he had spots on his lungs....could be cancer..come.back in 3 months for our next available cat scan. I told him now is when you get a referral to annoutaide doc because if you have lung cancer you dont have much time. This is Atlanta VA. The VA is different all over. The more you know..
I always was able to get an MRI the week I needed it. I went to a sports clinic in Orlando and got the MRI while waiting for my doctors appointment. I had an old battle wounded shoulder that the USAF misdiagnosed as a shoulder sprain which in fact it was a torn rotator cuff. The VA kept telling me "no its just a sprain" blah blah. I kept asking for an MRI and they kept denying it. I figured if I pestered them enough they would eventually cave and FINALLY agreed to a referral and BOOM within a week torn rotator cuff with 10 years of scar tissue found.
