Well, on Monday I almost decided to run away from home. But then remembered it wouldn't really solve anything - and besides where would I run to and what would Frosty do without me :)
Results from PET scan were confusing/annoying. I can usually come home and find the translation into layman's English online - but either I didn't search diligently enough, or it wasn't there. At any rate, there's 'something' in my chest - "a densely calcified lymph node in the subcrainal region" - and "physiologic uptake" in several areas. Now, I know there's a layman's translation for those terms and I WILL find them.
In the meantime, my oncologist has ordered both a CT scan and an MRI (never had either of those). One is to look at my chest and the other my shoulder that is still giving me pain. Can't remember which is which. And I'll see him again in two weeks instead of a month.
Of course, he said he's sure these are just precautionary measures and that all this is probably nothing - and he says it in such a soothing tone it's made to make you think he really believes that. Shoulder pain could be arthritis. However, it seems that oncologists in general have that same tone - or at least the ones I've met.
SO, it's back for more tests sometime in the next couple of weeks. And, I suspect at least one of these will involve a needle (contrast). So, I surely will not be happy about that!!!
And, I seem to be missing Chuck more these last couple of weeks. It seems that after 2 years I'd be doing better.
I remind myself that I do not walk this path alone!!! God gives me the grace to do what I must do daily, and He walks with me (carrying me most of the time). I am blessed and have much to be thankful for!!!
