More testing required …
Wednesday July 30th, 2008 at 5:06 pmWell I just got back from getting the results from my CT scan .. basically I have a few slightly abnormal nodes and tissues. The Doc’s first thought was mono, but I’ve had that (blood tested positive, not active), then he said it could be another virus, throat cancer or lymphoma. So he looked down my throat with a scope and didn’t see anything strange, except the swollen tissue behind my nose and throat. So next step is a needle biopsy of the largest node. It could take a couple weeks to get that scheduled, and I’d guess a week or 2 to get the results back. So I’m back to the waiting game. The needle biopsy isn’t very accurate, but if it comes back as ‘very benign’ then he’s more willing to wait it out and see what happens. Otherwise, the next step is to remove the node completely and biopsy it. Which the neck has alot of nerves and other good stuff that’s better left undisturbed 
I just need to keep myself busy for the next month .. luckily I have birthday celebrations to attend, a few photoshoots scheduled and a couple online projects to work on.
Dang, that sucks! Drawing it out is no fun. I wish we were having Hive sooner. That would distract you. I will be thinking about you!
