An update on my situation...(long)

[BabyTigger99]

Well, I went to the specialist this past Friday, the 22nd, and I am now scheduled to have a biopsy done on the 28th (Thursday). He said there is a teency tiny chance I could have a stress fracture that they are not picking up on any of the scans that has become infected (although I have no other signs of having an infection). Thursday morning they are going to put me under, go in, take some tissue (if it is an infection, there will obviously be no tissue to take, so they will clean it out and start my on IV antibiotics), and run it to the lab while I am still under. If he can tell for certain it is a begnin tumor, they will go ahead and remove it. If they still can't tell what it is, they will drill a hole in my bone the size of a half dollar and take the bone/marrow/whatever else they find to the lab to have that analyzed, and then insert a rod into the hole, to keep the bone from collapsing. Then we will have to sit down and discuss treatment options (if they have to take bone, it will most likely be because it is a cancerous tumor).

So needless to say, WW has pretty much gone out the window for me with all the stress. I still am trying to follow the program (had a loss last week of 1.4) and I am weighing in tomorrow, a day earlier than usual, and hope to make my 35 pounds. I will let you all know what happens when I know what happens, but any prayers and pixie dust would be greatly appreciated!

((HUGS)) BabyTigger,

I am so sorry to hear that you have to go through such an ordeal. I will put you in my prayers this week.

Don't worry about WW's right now. Concentrating on getting through this is your number one goal right now. If everything turns out ok, then you can pick up where you left off. I am sure if they have to take the bone marrow, your doctor will discuss a diet that is appropriate for you while this heals. Good luck on Thursday, and remember that you are in my prayers.

{{{HUGS}}}, Prayers and Pixie Dust coming your way.

Take care of yourself, first and foremost, and let the doctors figure it all out. I know it's hard because you want to stay focused on your WW program, but in all honesty, you have more important things to focus your energy on. Doesn't mean you totally want to ignore your healthy way of eating ... just don't put any added stress on yourself with respect to eating habits/weight, etc.

I'm so sorry you are going through all of this, and you will certainly be in my thoughts. Please keep us posted, and take care of yourself.

I'm sorry, BabyTigger. I hope they can identify the problem and that it's something easy to take care of. Sending P&PD your way, and don't worry about WW right now -- you have more important things to worry about.
