Let's see...being bitten by a radioactive spider gave Peter Parker all sorts of super spider powers....

You do realize I don't live that far mileage wise from there, when that happened
And I remember that distinctly when that took place
My bosses at work all had plane tickets to get out of Dodge here

I'll find out on Wednesday

It's hard to believe with all of this testing, especially the PET Scan, that I have another Doctor telling me it's inconclusive as to whether or not this nodule in my lung is "cancer" or not. Apparently it is too small to be picked up by the PET Scan accurately, so again I'm back to being monitored by CT Scans for this, to ensure it does not change. I can't seem to get cut a break here with a distinct diagnosis one way or the other. But at least I'm not going in for an operation, which is good!!

Today was the Gastric Stomach Emptying test, and I must say Radioactive Scrambled Eggs on toast, with a glass of water, isn't as tasty as one would think Plus, all that waiting time between scans Now to wait and see if they are able to get the CD and Report done by the end of today, so I can see what came of this. A friend recently had this done, and it took 33 hours for her stomach to empty Her's was a 2 days test, mine was a little over 4 hours this morning.

I'd just like to know right now, why I cannot gain weight, sigh.

Is the nodule too small to biopsy?

Quote from kilacam19 : Is the nodule too small to biopsy?

Originally he was going to biopsy this nodule, but now has decided to wait until the next CT Scan, basing on it's size at this point in time.

My last doctor's appt. today, with all of these doctor's involved. This doctor has decided to run another series of blood work, OMFG, 13 tubes of blood were drawn today I see him in 2 weeks to see what the outcome of this blood work is. He is actually testing me to see if someone is trying to poison me Now that is some skeery stuff to think about Maybe I need to take another look at my Life Insurance Policy

With the Gastric Stomach Emptying Test, that came back normal. This doctor feels that my system is acting hyper, eating up all the calories I'm in taking; that or something nefarious is going on here; which is why he is testing for "heavy metal poisoning".

Heavy Metal Poisioning sounds kind of kick ass and awesome Were you a rock groupie?


I am hoping that 13 (!!!) tubes of blood provides some "lucky" test results and good information.

When I told hubby Doc was looking into "Heavy Metal Poisoning" he said you really think I'm trying to kill you and I said well are you You have been doing a lot of the cooking since this all began ***hands on hips**** so what have you been feeding me and I note you aren't eating the same thing

Yeah, I hope 13 turns out to be a lucky number. This Doc is an "Infectious Disease" Doctor, among other things; so if anyone can get to the bottom of this, he should be able to. He went over me with a fine tooth comb, and examined me in ways none of the other doctors did so

He is looking at "Hyper Metabolism" as a possible answer to this, as well as doing additional cancer checks, with blood work that the other doctor's may have missed. He was none to happy they did not run certain blood work for this. He said it is too easy for certain types of cancer to hide, and some types of blood work will find it. So another 2 weeks But I'm not going to fret over this. It's like a game now, wait and see, and see and wait. But keep stacking up on the calories and hoping I gain more weight !!!

That boat trip is now on !!! We decided we are going and not letting this stop us
