Hey everyone, I'm hanging in... I've had hemoptasis both while on blood thinners and off of blood thinners. It's just that much more frightening when your on them..I am doing better, thank you.......Joan, it's nice to know someone else that goes to stony brook, yes Dr. Kanu is a sweetheart, i saw her yesterday, she put me on cipro, hope that does the trick. Do you go to family education day? It's usually in feb. Let me know.........Take care all.....Joni 54 y/o w c/f
