Guest guest Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I was told the same thing as you. I am in the process of looking for another rheumy so no rheumy to go to. No pcp either. Hope all this changes next week. Gonna start goint to St. Joe and hope to find better luck there. Anyway, I got more than I bargained for with this news. The CT scan also revealed enlarged lymph nodes and one that looks like a tumor. They are sending me for a biopsy tomorrow to rule out lymphoma. Also showed cardiomegaly so a little more than I wanted to hear right now. So hoping for a happy new year!!
