before i forget, great news PPP!
Maybe you would like to read my PFT's ?? or look at my X-rays
Now... The Doctor isn't telling me it's Ok to Smoke ! Tells me Every year to Quit
Tells me all the dangers, etc......
and 4 years ago I went for a 2nd opinion... same Results
and just to clear the record........ he said I have Lungs of a Man in his 30's
this was last year at age 52
your PFT results are based on expected results for your age, so maybe your lung capacity was great, and some other scores were great... all that means is you don't have signs of cancer right now.
next year when you take the test (god forbid this happening) your results may be much lower, then the doctor knows that you have something going on in your lungs.
most lung cancers are not detected until it is too late.
your best chance of not getting cancer is to stop smoking, getting a test every year may make you feel better but it does nothing to increase your survival rate.
let me put this in betting terms, you took the dog for +500, checking the score every 2 minutes does not increase your chances of winning.
