Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hi All, Well my wonderful weekend of collecting my urine to take to the lab is over thank God. I take it up to the lab tomarrow and I was told by the Cr I should know something within a week of taking it up if I don't hear from him by Monday to call him first thing Tuesday. It is just a little bit Scary cause I read up on Cushing Syndrome and I am hoping and praying this is only Thyroid. He told me he wasn't real worried about my TSH but my FreeT4 he didn't like at all. So he choose to run another thyroid panel. If it does turn out I have cushings . Then it comes down to finding where the leak is meaning I am leaking ACTH and he has to figure out where. Luckily I had a recent MRI this Past Dec 2005 and he can use that to view my Pituitary gland. He will have to check my MRI of my Adrenal glands as well . one of the test isn't so bad where 4 days in a row they take blood aftr giving me a medication call dexamethosone first two days is low dose then last 2 is a very high dose then another blood test, but the one where they have to do a cath really bothers me cause they give me ( I feel goofy pills ) . Then they take a cathater like they do for a heart cath with a camera on the tip and they can see inside you but what they are really looking to do is take a blood sample from my sinuses . That is one why they can tell where the tumor is if they find I have one for sure. So kids keep the fingers and leg hairs crossed that they find the leak right away and it isn't s cnacerous tumor so maybe it won't have to come out just dealt with with medication. Thanks all , Especially you my buddie Topper. Oh said in 2 or 3 weeks he will find out for sure mmmmmm Chocolate. Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
