Need KT Good Thoughts...Dr Appointment

17 years ago

I had a mammogram done last week and got a letter from the doctorÂs office yesterday. It said I show the need for further evaluation and they want to take a right breast special view mammogram and ultrasound. I am calling this morning for another appointment to have this done. I will keep you all posted on what is happening. I am trying not to worry and hopefully itÂs nothing but could use some magical KT good thoughts and prayers.

Thanks

Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing. I had to go through with that this spring, now have to have another in 6 months. Oh, one thing, the second time you go, it is more intensive, sorry about that. Best of luck.

And another complication. I had a problem with my left eye when I was driving home from Seattle on Tuesday. My eye doc was able to get me in on Wednesday, and sent me to a specialist on Thursday. Seems that my lymphoma is now in the retina of my left eye. He seemed confident that radiation to the eye would work. So more radiation. He is pretty sure it's not melanoma. Thank God. I was to have a brain/eye mri Thursday at the U but I couldn't do it. I have to reschedule with conscious sedation! LOL I just freaked out.(yes, more freaky than normal... lol) I had a meeting with the nurse and one of the Doctors at the cancer care alliance yesterday, Ryan went with me. My blood counts are good. A little low, one step back, two steps forward, but they are working their way to normal. Everything is as expected. Blood tests, nurse/doc visits and more radiation. I will see the U of Washington's retinal eye specialist on Monday. And on Tuesday I have an MRI scheduled. Hope I can get through it this time! LOL.

Just wanted to say one more thing........I had a wonderful colostomy nurse that visited me before I left the hospital. They come and show you how to take care of the colostomy....and explain how it all works. She said something to me that made all the difference in the world and it really did effect my attitude...she said.... Ruth, you can go home, feel sorry for yourself, suck your thumb and lock yourself in the house and be miserable because you have a colostomy, or you can get your butt out of bed and get on with your life. No one will ever know that you have an colostomy unless you tell them so go and do whatever it is that you feel like doing......I certainly took her words to heart and lived just that way.....and after the tissue in the colon had time to heal, I had the reversal ie... the rehook and it all went well............Tell your Mother not to worry......

Thank all of you for your suggestions and support. Last week was scary. He fell in the kitchen and grabbed for his walker and it moved. He didn't fall on the floor but scraped his elbow on the counter and cabinets. He is on blood thinner and I had trouble getting the bleeding to stop.Of course he wouldn't go to the hospital.Long story short,he finally ended up in the ER and they found that hid PTINR was 13.8. It isn't supposed to be over 3. They told him to stop the blood thinner and have it checked. It has since healed and his level is better.He finished his radiation,no.10 on Friday. Hopefully he will have some time off before they discuss going back on a different Chemo.He said the radiation helped the pain in his back,but now if feels a lump in his throat. They said that might happen because of the radiation being close to his throat. Just taking things one day at a time.

OMG, I love the 'rack'! It very much relieved my compressed nerve pain. I had to adjust my rear view mirror every time I left my chiro! Peppi, keep us informed....we care. My husband opted for surgery when sciatica struck a blow. He was home the same day, walking around with comfort. His surgical wound was kept covered with a 2x3 piece of gauze! I hope that you have access to modern surgical procedures....which can be a much better option than injections.

I've had the same experience and, while it turned out to be nothing, the waiting was horrible. I'll be thinking of you!

A few years ago, I had a similar thing happen - went back in for the requested re-check - everything was fine - the 'dark spot' they saw was a reflection of the metal nipple cover! I was glad I went in and had it checked, though.

Special thoughts for you! Tell them to rush those results. The waiting is the worst!

I don't have any experience (thank goodness), but don't you think they would have called and gotten you in ASAP if they thought it was anything serious?

I had a similar situation. Went in to have needle biopsy, but they decided to do a magnification prior to that. Turns out it was two blood vessels that were stacked.

I'm hoping for the best for you. It's good that it's being taken care of.

Weird though, that you were notified by letter. I've never heard of that before. Were you ok with that?

You're in my prayers. I've had this happen, and it didn't help me to know that most times, it was nothing. Only the "all clear" made me stop worrying.

I had a lump (I found) last year and had it taken out. It was nothing, but I sure was nervous until the lab work was in.
Hang in there! Wishing you the best.
