I am 70 years old this year. I have severe asthma on and off predisone, many meds have hypertenison, glaucoma, secondary progressive ms, use a powerchair. have a weakened immune system because of this. I do well under stress, and have had many procedures done. Do you think I will have excessive bleeding? I also have a thyroid nodule 4 centimetes, should I have another biopsy done? I will inform the dermetologist about this. The pathologist report; either basil cell or squamous cell, not sure. The tumor was taken off from my left eyelid by my ophthalmologist. Will have mohs surgery next week. would like to hear your response about this. Thanks Leonda

Hi Leonda
You certainly have been through a lot! I have MS too and I just received my first inhaler for asthma symptoms. It seems like it is always something doesn't it?
I am afraid I don't have any answers to your questions as I am not a doctor. These are great questions though, and I think you should write them down and go through them with your doctor one by one so that you understand all the risks for any procedures. You should also tell all of your doctors all the medications you are taking and including any supplements. Make sure they take the time with you to answer your questions fully.
Leonda do you have any support in the way of family or friends to go with you to ask about these things from your doctor. Sometimes it helps if someone is there during these appointments to take notes or help ask questions.
Let us know how things go for you. We will be thinking of you.
