Where to begin again?
It is hard to say.
Summary... They found a lump in my neck, in my lymph node, wrapped around blood vessles and nerves. Is it "the big 'C'?" Probably not... but it IS likely an infection that's been hammering me for quite a while.
There's also something IN my throat, but dollars to donuts it is just my regrown tonsils (yes, they DO regrow sometimes) Maybe I'll be lucky and be right on this one...
They can not remove it, and the first set of biopsies is "inconclusive".
I feel like hell warmed over, and there really doesn't seem to be much that anyone can do about it.
Now what??
I see my PCP tomorrow (Monday) and maybe I'll know more.
But, an infection in my lymph nodes is NOT good. And now the other side of my neck is hurting and getting swollen. And ... and... and... who knows? I certainly don't.
All I DO know is I have no strength, energy, or ability to deal. I hurt. I'm feeling swollen, and I don't know what will happen next.
Medicine sure ain't working...
More later.
more to handle,
(is it) time to care?
