I hope it isn't too long before you are back for answers.

did not expect you to know the blood requests
this is all the blood tests that will be taken
a process of elimination
two of the test are on a genetic level
for example
the fact that my maternal mother
has a trace of lupus
there is a protein that is in lupus
this protein is also found in patients and tested positive
to have the same who don't have lupus
and it is a cause of severe bruising
the DX: coagulation
and again remember David
the doctors have no clue what the heck is happening
but
the pictures show otherwise
it is ALL a process of elimination
some of the blood to be taken needs to go into dry ice
something he could have done himself
in his office
as there is a wonderful friend Ron
who draws and spins my blood taken
no dry ice allowed since 911
there are also two specific tests
that would be a bummer if found to be positive
is mutation
all the required test are causatory factors for the bruising
the dimer test will tell the doctor if clotting is happening
and on and on and on
fact
i am scared
until whatever is causing this
new unwelcomed visit
that something is wrong
Very Wrong
no change in diet
if anything eliminating as much sugar as possible
my cancer is estrogen driven
and this particular cancer looks for and feeds off SUGAR
no injuries
other than the cramping of the fingers and toes
out of control in the last two weeks
and i drink my water
so again
just listed what he is hoping to rule out
just another thing on my plate to deal with
just scares me enough
to say to those out there
what is going on with ME
and share for others who
just may be asked to have some bloodwork
someone may recognize
as i also knew my neck something other than the spine
my gut is all i needed
it never failed me
and i kept losing weight nobody
was listening
I found my cancer
Despite getting my mammo every year at the same
place since I was thirty five
i love my oncologist and he has been listed in my providers
manuel as a hematologist also so of course i will stay with him
hope my explanation is better understood
you take care
love
me
