Some prayers and positive vibes please.

[floweravalanche]

Hey guys I hope you don't mind me asking for some prayers and positive vibes please.

For about 4 months now I have been fighting stuff with my lymph nodes, after going to the doctors a few times and running test, the doc has decided to put in a consult to a surgeon, to make sure I don't have cancer or something extremely serious. Problem is if I do the surgery, the stuff is near my juggler vein and main aoretys, so it's a very risky surgery.

I'm a bet scared and nervous and could use some prayers and positive vibes.

I have faith, but it's hard to not think about all that is going on.

Thanks guys!

Oh my God, that sounds seriously scary. I'm SOOOO sorry to hear you have to go through this. I include you in my thoughs and prayers I'm sure everything will be fine. Keep the faith!

I had Hodgkins Lymphoma. They had to do surgery near my jugular as well to do a biopsy. The #1 thing you want in a surgeon is confidence.

I am praying for the best for you! If it turns out to be cancer of some sort and you want to talk to someone that's been through it PM me! But I have faith that it is not (have they checked your thyroid?)

 

[Carek1230]

You are sooo right about how important it is to have that good relationship with all your doctors and surgeons!

Thank you.

They did check my thyroid the results came back normal, the only abnormal stuff was my white blood cells were a bit high then normal, which says I'm fighting something, but I don't show any signs on a viruses etc. and my red blood cells were low which they didn't really explain that to me well. Other than that the only thing I have is the lumps near my jugular, fevers and night sweats and of coarse fatigue comes along with all that.

I'm still waiting for the call from the health insurance to set me up with a surgeon, mine will most likely be done on base, even though I would prefer to do it at the local hospital than there, but it's up to the the medical insurance.

I have a new doctor now since my main doc is deployed which stinks a lot, this new doc is kind of strange, I don't have the relationship with him as I did my main doctor. But that's the problem about the military medical system you get what you get. I probably just need to get use to him since he does things a whole lot different than my doc.

Hang in there

and thank you so much! LU!

S oh,***good luck*** !!!!
Didn't know you were on a Base/ in military.


There is a condition called bad spelling Hashimodo's Disease with is a thyroid problem but needs a very sensitive test to detect it.

 

[floweravalanche]

My Dad is retired NAVY so we do everything through the military system here.

I never heard of that Dazz.Is like hyporthrodism? I know bad spelling sorry.

UPDATE: Got a call from the hospital, to see the surgeon on Monday to go over when I'm going to have surgery, what is going to be done, etc.

[last unicorn]

You'll stay in my thoughs.

 

[floweravalanche]

Thank you!

I had a very bad nightmare about all this last night. I usually don't do that. I see the surgeon on Monday. I think once I talk to the surgeon I'll be alright.

 

[domo-kun]

I hope it helps you out, and I'll for you.
They better get that surgery right

 

[Bonogirl777]

Prayers and good vibes coming from me.

 

[floweravalanche]

Thank you all so much!

Tomorrow I see the surgeon, I'm a bet nervous, but I have faith, and having you all be there for me means a lot to, really helps me stay at ease.

 

[last unicorn]

Please write (or pm me) as soon as you know more, ok?

 

[JanuaryStar]

Crystal! So sorry I didn't see this until now

I wish you a lot of good luck and strength in all of this... Hang in there

Update:I just got back from seeing the surgeon, he had me go through some more test, in which he said my doctor should of done before sending me to the surgery clinic, which would of saved lots of time and probably get me closer to finding out what the heck is going on, and I also did some xrays.

I'm now waiting on a call to get a time to come in and get a ultrasound and on the 23rd of this month I'll see the surgeon again. It's a wait and see thing now and he doesn't want to rush in if he doesn't have to, he doesn't want me to have to go through some pain, etc before knowing what may be going on. He is pretty upset my doc didn't do what he was suppose to do before sending me to the surgeon. Like I said before I have a new doc,since my other one is deployed.So a bet aggravated about that.

In the mean time, I'm on some medication that will hopefully help me out, and waiting to see what happens next.

I really hate wait and see stuff, and hope that something shows up soon or shows it's nothing crazy, and we get this stuff figured out.

I'm exhausted and a bit stressed out, but I have faith things will go well soon, and the big guy upstairs will do what is best.

I'll keep you updated as much as I can, in the mean time wait and see is the thing. I really hate wait and see.

 

[Carek1230]

You poor thing to have to go thru all this wait and see...the waiting and in limbo is so hard to deal with. Find something to distract yourself, that's healthy. Pamper yourself. On one hand perhaps it is good this doctor is taking a different approach. I'd much rather have a 2nd or even 3rd opinion especially after the word "surgery" is uttered. I am going through something similar. I was in hospital in mid August and am STILL waiting for some kind of treatment option to avoid that ugly word surgery. Hopefully Wednesday's appt. for me will bring some good news. So, and positive thoughts all around!!
