I had my 10th infusion today and it went well. I also had fresh brain MRI's with and w/o contrast, and there were no new lesions! I looked at them too, and all we saw were my old familiar lesions that I've had for several years.

It would suck if it was something as simple as that, after all the worrying you have been through, and it's a simple breath/saliva test depending on which one he uses.
Hi RW,

I have to have the darned stress test on Friday. Then I'm assuming they'll want to do a upper GI to make sure nothings blocking in there or anything like that. I don't think the pain corresponds to eating fat. This morning after breakfast I had slight nausea. All I had was oatmeal with a little bit of sugar on it and my morning meds.

Wow Cherie, thanks for that info. I take lots of Tums for my heartburn, but I recently upped my vitamin D dosage that I take with my calcium and magnesium in the morning. My calcium was only slightly high, but I wonder if that could be caused by the vit. D? I think I'm going to cut down on the D and see if that helps.

Thanks Cheryl,

After a few thousand dollars of testing to bill to the insurance company, we should get to the bottom of this. Or at least just confirm that I don't have stomach or esophagus cancer. (I don't believe for a minute that I do, but it doesn't hurt to check I suppose!)
