I knew V Fend sounded familiar! I just checked through my bag o medicines and see that it's the brand name for Voriconozole, which I was on for a while but as it interferes with liver function, they took me off it until this liver crap clears up. Frankly I have zero idea what anything costs as the drs never bring it up and it's all the same to me at the pharmacist's anyway. It's nice to just get the best medicine, not the cheapest, I suppose.
Oh and a small update- after several days of the lung biopsy pain being manageable, I had sharp pains in my back so bad I could barely breathe so we had to rush in to A&E on fri night. We called ahead so a haem dr was waiting for me and we had the best possible outcome - in and out in 2 hrs and the dr said it was fairly normal to get new pains like that, and sent me home with more codeine after a quick chest xray to make sure nothing was horribly wrong. So the codeine's helping a little but I'm still in a bit of pain when I cough, yawn,hiccup, etc or if I sit in the really squishy sofa. Ugh. I thought surgery pains were meant to get better each day, not worse!
