Trying to figure out why a pt/ct scan, and needle biopsy, still can't tell us if this 'mass' in my loves's one remaining lung is cancer or infection, like valley fever.
So, now another needle biopsy will be scheduled, and oh yeah......the stupid thing has grown since the last scan.....not to mention the fact we spent 6 hrs in ER last Tuesday because the biopsy which had been done 10 days earlier caused an inflammation of the pleura bringing on a bout of pleurisy. During this time, they ran every test possible, from brain scan to xrays......but I gotta say.....our local hospital and docs are the best.
I swear, the anxiety and waiting is the worst. At least if you know for sure, you have a plan of action.
I swing from optimism to despair......and watch while my husband clings to every bit of hope he can think of.
Not a plea for pity here folks, just needing to vent.
