So, for anyone who has seen my posts in the last little while, you know that I have been very stressed about my medical.

Well, I got my results yesterday, and as promised, there was a copy for me to review.

The good news is that the doctor did leave out the medical history stuff that I was hoping he woud leave out... which is what had me so stressed in the first place.

The bad news... there was a dark spot on my x-ray. Could be nothing, could be something. So I have gone to my family doctor today to have more x-ray's taken.. gulp :( (It's not TB).

Anyways, the doctor who did my medical said that it shouldn't delay my visa process, and that I did not need to bring follow up documents with me, but he wrote in 3 places on my medical report that my x-ray came back with an abnormality. Wouldn't this set off a red flag during my interview? I've asked my family doctor to provide me with some paperwork once this additional testing is done, assuming everything comes out ok. Just in case the Consulate wants to see more info (which I'm sure they will).

As far as the interview--no idea. It probably isn't a bad idea to be prepared with whatever you get from your own doctor just in case. Maybe someone a lot further along in this process can say something about that.

Most importantly, though, I hope everything is okay! If it helps any, I know of two people who had spots show up on x-rays turn out to be nothing, just "echos".

Yeah, I'd get something from your family doctor clearing you. You may want to call up the panel physician again to ask them if they can write you a note or whatever confirming your family doctor's assessment. The last thing you want is your visa to be delayed because the consulate may wish to see something further from the panel physician. Never hurts to be proactive when dealing with the consulates!

I hope it turns out to be nothing and it was just an X-Ray problem.

I know this must be horrifying to you right now and I'm sorry you are going through it. How soon will the new results come back?

I know for my chest X Ray- I was nervous about it- especially being a smoker. After my X Ray was taken- I was sitting in the little dressing room waiting for the lady to come back and tell me I could get dressed. I overheard a few people talking outside about a big black spot that developed in one of the X Rays and he said "but it seems to be disappearing as it develops." The other lady laughed and said "well that's good." My mind was going a mile a minute and I kept wondering if they were talking about my X Ray. I kept stressing over it up until I got my results back from the Doctors office- I still didn't know if everything was ok but I figured they wouldn't have sent me home with the results without telling me there was something wrong.

I am not from C-a-n-a-d-a so don't get the humor but still recommend that a specialist be seen quickly. Lung problems truly isn't very funny to me

The humour comes from the fact that we have socialized health care ... you have to see your doctor who refers you to a specialist and then it takes a while to get an appointment ... so immediately isn't really immediate at all :)

But it is easy enough to work the system. You just call up the specialists office after your family doctor has made the appointment and you tell them to put you on the wait list for when there are cancellations. In most cases that way, you can be seen within a week.

I did that before I left. I had to have surgery and originally it was scheduled for about 3 months, I got on the cacellation wating list, and was in in 2 weeks.

As for the x-ray at your interview, primarily they are concerned with communicable diseases. If the panel physician did not tell you it is TB, you are most likely fine and will not be denied on medical grounds. However, if it is something that requires treatment, you may want to delay your move to the US, so you won't be out of pocket thousands of dollars for doctors.

I truly hope that everything is well MandE! Let us know how your new X-Ray looks. I'm sure if it was something very serious, the Doctor would have spoken to you about this.
