Re: Thanks Carla/Kitty/all/update

[Guest guest]

Carla- thanks so much for your words of encouragement, they really did

help. Kitty-thank you as well- I do have a cat, and two dogs, and being

with them is always a relief from all this.

ANd of course all of you who listened to me whine- thanks!

OK, so I dont think I necessarily have cancer anymore, but I'll feel

best when that is ruled out entirely.

THis is a bit redundant- as I said most of this in the " white chunk

sister " message. But the gist is, my internist saw the white chunks,

looked at them , found them to be in fact normal cells. He is now

suggesting I see a dermo-pathologist, dermatolgists who specialize in

" headscratchers " and see what they say. They may suggest a biopsy,or

not.

As to why the white chunks, and why now, who knows?

My internist is puzzled, but doesnt want me to lose hope. He deosnt

think I have something terrible in terms of life threatening, and he

theorizes a biopsy would turn up " non-specific " , which is consistent

with what many of you have described.

So, no BAD news, just no news, which is to say, status quo.

But Im not that discouraged anymore- thanks in big part to your

responses. I burst out into tears at the doctors, but not in his office.

I had to work real hard to keep it in (had to whisper thank you and

shake is hand) and bawled in the hallway for a few seconds (husband was

with me through all this, including the " poking and scraping

ceremony " )but after letting it all hang out, and talking to my good

friend who doesnt have vv but has had really unpleasant gyn surgical

procedures, I felt much better.

Ahhhh.

Hope you all are having a pain and itch free day!

And yes, the one day at a time policy really is the only thing that

works.
