Her First Symptom 2005

>> Friday, December 5, 2008

Mom underwent 6 months of tests and blood work. The reason behind this is that her spleen was enlarged and they were trying to determine why. All her tests and blood work were coming out fine and the doctors were baffled. (We'll talk about those idiots later on) They did not send her to John Hopkins or even suggest it they just decided to take out the spleen.

We waited 2 hours while mom was in surgery. When the surgeon came out he said it was the biggest spleen he had ever seen. They were sending it out for a biopsy and we would hear back.

The results showed that the spleen was full of lymphoma. However they explained that it was "self contained" and she will be fine. My brothers, step dad and other family members were relieved. Temporarily at least.

I read your "about" and I feel like you took the thoughts out of my head. I've been setting up a site the last two days to do the same thing you are--my own therapy. I thought I was doing okay until the holiday season and now every day hurts worse than the day before. Figure writing about it would help.

Yeah thats what Im trying to accomplish too but not sure if it will work. And for some reason each Sunday I wake up seems to be worse then the last, maybe because of the holidays.
