So far, February has been a rough month, and March will also be rough. Last Friday (2/15) I had my CT scan with contrast. I saw my oncologist this morning for the results. As the title says, another scare that my cancer is back. What did the scan say? Lymph nodes a little worse and they are not easily accessible; small nodules in both lungs 2-7 mm in size and too small to be biopsied, and my spleen is 2 cm bigger. My blood word I had done on the 5th cam back good. I found out today that I was diagnosed with granuloma disease two years ago. Go to the following website to find out more information about granuloma disease: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001239.htm. From reading this, I think my brother also had granuloma disease. According to the website, it is an inherited disease, so both of my parents are carriers.
Next Monday (2/25) I will have a Pet/CT scan. That Friday (3/1) I will be seeing a new doctor, a Cardiothoracic surgeon in the morning and see my oncologist early that afternoon. I googled the surgeon, and from what I read, he is to be a top notch surgeon/doctor.
Depending on what the PET/CT scan says will determine the next steps. Biopsy? Surgery?
It seems like every year, I have a scare of some kind. I am tired of having a scare every year. When can I go a year without scares?
Father,
I know you know what you are doing? You have plans to prosper me, not to harm me. Please give me the strength to get through this. I also what you to be glorified during this time. Please use me in whatever way you deem. Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. I am not happy. This on top of Timmy's death, and the stress of the school year seems to be too much bear.
Amen
