So I went in for what I thought was a routine doctor's appointment...Update, page 4!!

On Tuesday of this week, I went in for a three month check with my oncologist. I was feeling great, since on May 27th it was one year in remission for me (note my cool tag that it got me!). Doc comes in the room, says he has reviewed my PET scan that I had the week previous. There is a suspicious spot in my neck/throat area, and I need to go see an ENT to discuss things further.

Cue the freak out from me. Nothing has felt wrong on me in such a long time. I am sure my jaw just dropped when he said that.

I went and saw the ENT yesterday. He did the oh-so-fun scope through the nose to the throat (add insult to injury, I had a bout with the stomach flu yesterday as well, so I did not react well AT ALL to the scope!). He said the tonsils look fine, but my adnoids are very enlarged, so to be on the safe side, he wants to remove them and biopsy them to make sure the cancer has not returned.

So my surgery should be scheduled for sometime last week, and then we will go from there. Hopefully it turns out to be nothing, because DH will be on a 60 day deployment starting the middle of June. If anyone has good thoughts they could spare, I would appreciate it.

Did they tell you that PET scans show areas of infection as well as areas of cancer? That's the thing about them... Keeping my fingers crossed for you that your adenoids are just infected and you can continue to enjoy your remission!

Good thoughts on the way.

 

[jodifla]

Yes, more good thoughts on the way, and some P&PD too!

 

[piglet too]

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. Hopefully this is just a simple infection.

Do they have any comparisons of the adenoids from other times? Is it possible that you just have big adenoids? I know that my DH does, and all three of my kids did as well. (they all had their's removed)

Lots of good thoughts on the way!

Prayers and pixie dust, hope the surgery goes well.

 

[Wish I lived in Fl]

Hope all goes easy with surgery.

Don't worry untill the Dr. tells you to worry.

Maybe enlarged adenoids are from the horrible pollen season we are having.
