My Doctors Appointment

I wanted you all to know that I will be seeing Dr.Parker, one of Doctor Hutchers collegues next Tuesday . The mass that I have on my adrenal gland is really doing a number on my kidney and adrenal gland . Doctor H said it was extremely large and must come out .. no if ands or buts . He was going to order a PET Scan but said it would do no good at this point . That if it is malignant it would still need to come out .. and if it is not it still has to go as it is sucking the life out of my kidney and causing stress on it . The good news is , they will not go in through my abdomen , but through my back .. this will keep them from running into any danger with my hernia and scar tissue .. I also was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and am off to go get a Fleet and some other stuff to take to clean me out .. They sent me for Chest xray .. and some other stuff too .. I will be leaving again to be with Alan until Next Tuesday , he is coming back down here to be with me . He has been my rock through all of this and I can not imagine how I have gotten this far with out him . It was great meeting everyone from Roberta's Support group Saturday . Thank you all that attended for making me feel so welcomed and for your well wishes on my next journey what ever it may be . I love you all .. Tink

Hi Tink honey...I wish you the best on your surgery. Let's hope it is speedy and there is nothing cancerous about it! I will send some prayers up for you asap. I am so glad you have Alan there to help you out in any way he can. Hugs! Shele

Tink Baby, I am so sorry you are feeling the way your are. Atleast it sounds like they know how to fix you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I also know about IBS. I suffer from Ulcerative Colitis and the flare ups can be similar so if you have any questions feel free to email me offline. It was a pleasure having you at my group on Saturday. We always have a good time as we are more of a social group. Anytime you are in town visiting your honey come see us. Again please let me know if I can help you in any way. Love ya. Roberta

Good luck with seeing the next doctor and we are all praying for a good outcome..... good that you have Alan in your life too - he loves you and will take care of you! Stay strong and if any of us can do anything don't hesitate to let us know! We are glad to have you all at our meeting too - soon we will need to get our own hall on a Saturday! I would offer up my house to meet but I live in Fredericksburg! Jackie

Hi Natalie, I have thought about you so much since I saw you at the support group Saturday and we talked about your tumor. I had so hoped you wouldn't have to have surgery again, but if you must, I wish you all the luck in the world! Please keep us posted as to what the doctors say, etc., as we care very much about you. Hugs, Karen
