Wanted to wish all of the marvelous people on this forum Happy Holidays.
I will be out more than in until after Jan 5. Got some unexpected news earlier this week. Found out that my CT was not as clean as first informed and there is a nodule in one lung. It is marked as probable granuloma- and here in the Ohio Valley, that is likely. But with all the other symptoms I am having, there is also still the risk that this is all paraneoplastic to a very scary cancer. All my docs ( neuro and pulmo) are out. My next follow up appointment is Jan 5 and to be completely frank, I am just trying not to think about this too much until then, and when I have some more answers and know how high the cancer risk is. I am just getting through each day, working as much as I can and resting when needed. There is still the chance that the nodule is a nothing, that this may or may not be MG and I can process and deal with all that in a couple of weeks. It may seem a bit ostrich-y, but honestly--without more solid info from the Drs, I can only research and fret so much before it becomes self destructive. So, I will hop in and out and check on ya'll, but I am trying to not focus on this all too much right now and just have some family time. I hope ya'll get to have time with your family as well, either born or chosen and find a miracle this season. |

I totally agree with your approach...very sensible and practical - and yet difficult to do.
Cherish the Holidays and have tons of fun with family and friends. Attitude / happiness is the most important and best healer of all. Merry Christmas! Sue |

Nan,
Sometimes it's okay to be an ostrich! Try not to overwhelm yourself with the research, (at least for a little while)... I know this is totally against your nature!! Enjoy your time with family and friends, you have a great support system going for you! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthier New Year..... Rachel

I'm sorry for your test results, but hopefully, it isn't anything to worry about. Sometimes these tests pick up things that aren't always as serious as they seem.
I agree! Be an Ostrich. Aren't they beautiful animals? Enjoy the holidays with your friends and family and try not to worry too much. Once you get more info from your doctors then you can research a bit more. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! |
