Dear Dr. Emrani:
You are one of the best doctors. You are the greatest person, the greatest Dr., I am very grateful, you saved my life. I would not be here today without you. I will always be thankful to you.
I will never forget that at least 10 other physicians and cardiologists did not know what was wrong with me, I kept going to them and my situation got worse, almost every two weeks I went to the emergency room because of the fluid in my lungs and around my heart, I could not breathe.
All the Doctors misdiagnosed my illness and told me that I have Leukemia and I have less than six months to live. They were very sure about the diagnoses and said that they checked the fluid 3 times, so they started the treatment for Leukemia, (Immunotherapy and some pills). I got the treatment for almost two months. The treatment did not help and made my situation worse
It was so bad that it almost killed me. It all happened in 2020 and 2021.
Before they released me from the hospital they put two tubes under my chest in order to drain the fluid every week, that was a one hour operation.
The drainage of the fluid was very painful with a chance of getting infection too. A nurse came to my house twice a week to drain the fluid for almost 8 months, two liters of fluid each time.
Then they suggested another plan which also required a one hour surgery, putting lining around the lungs so the fluid will not go into the lungs and instead it will go to the stomach and drain it from the stomach which was painful too.
I am also thankful to a friend of mine who told me about you. I am so happy I came to your office on March 16, 2021, two years ago and on the first visit you knew what the problem was, it was not Leukemia, it was heart failure and as a result my heart was leaking, that is why I had so much fluid in the lungs. Right Diagnosis.
Dr. Emrani, you gave me the right medication, with only one pill daily, in three weeks, the fluid dried up and they took the tubes out and I feel much better since then.
All these doctors that I saw before I saw you, knew that I have heart failure but they all told me that heart failure cannot cause so much fluid in the lungs and it's definitely Leukemia.
The reason I put this post is to thank you a million times and if this post will save someone's life it will make me very happy.
Thank you Dr. Emrani,
God Bless you,
Rachel
