I Need Some Good Thoughts Please.

[Big Wall]

It has been a bitch of a month and to top it all off I just found out that I need to go in for a couple different full body scans on Monday to see if I have lymphoma. Please send some good thoughts out for me.

Update 8/4: Life has been throwing a lot of punches lately. I finally got in to see a doctor with my new insurance today. He managed to get me an appointment today with a head and neck surgeon even though she was scheduled out for 3 months.

I had a chest x-ray, some blood tests and a needle biopsy done. She stuck a camera up my nose and down my throat. It showed that I have a slightly deviated septum, have a lot of scaring from when my tonsils and adenoids were removed when I was 4 and have somehow broken the hyoid bone in my throat at some point in my life. Other than that everything was good there.

We scheduled CT scans and tentatively scheduled a surgery to remove a lymph node for further testing if needed. It feels good to finally be doing something.

Update 8/6: CT scan showed exactly what we already knew - swollen lymph nodes. The needle biopsy didn't show anything so I get to go in for surgery on Monday to remove a node for further testing.

Update 8/12: The surgery went well and we will hopefully have results back later this week. Haven't had to take any pain pills yet. Get to take a few days off of work. Thanks to those who sent pms. It truly means a lot.

Update 8/18: Called with results this morning. B cell lymphoma. Time to see an oncologist.
