Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hey family, I haven't been feeling well, but wanted to let you know how my visit went Friday. I visited with the neurologist about the results of my MRI's. I have three herniated discs in my neck. Now, I can understand why I have constant pain. They are scheduling me to see a surgeon to remove the tumors from my head. Good news, they are on my head, not in the brain area! I have a problem understanding my doctor, his accent is terrible, but does sound cool:) They are on the nerves, and the neuro thinks maybe when they are removed, the leg problem will go away, we'll see. I am going Monday for another MRI of the lower back. They should have done it, when I had the others done, but you know how that works. I see a pain doctor Wed, will keep you all posted. I am not looking forward getting my head shaved, but I have no choice right now, if I get better, wig time:( Welcome newbies, you all are in the right place for support and friends. My prayers are with everyone, hugs, Tawny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Thanks for the update, Tawny. I'm sorry that you have so many serious problems and that you aren't feeling well. I'm glad to hear that the tumors are not in your brain. That's fantastic news. It's a shame about your hair though. I hope your appointment tomorrow goes well and that the doctor figures out a way to make your more comfortable. Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hi Tawny. So happy to hear your brain won't be poked and prodded. It's scary enough to have to have this surgery. Is this something you have to have done soon? My thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep playing with that new granddaughter so you can keep your mind off of unpleasant things. a On Apr 23, 2006, at 12:05 AM, tdianaok wrote: > Hey family, > > I haven't been feeling well, but wanted to let you know how my visit > went Friday.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Why you can't get those implants out, Dede? Is it that you can't tolerate the surgery right now? It's so sad to hear how hard things have been for you and to know that the culprits behind all these horrible symptoms are still there, wreaking havoc with your body.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Dede, Sorry this doctor turned out to be a loser. I haven't posted in the last few weeks, but it sounds like you're having heart surgery, and you're trying to find someone who can remove the implants at the same time? Keep looking for someone, there has to be someone who's on the ball. Sis > > Oh Dede, > What an awful doctor! . . . Did he even know you were in the room? . . . It doesn't sound like it! > I hope your heart doctor can help you find help! . . . > BTW, I'm doing the Sylvia UltraMind course . . . two CD's a day . . . and loving it! I wish everyone could do it! > I'm going " to level " . . . and who knows what I'm doing there? . . . I come back up when told to do so.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hello Bindi ~ Well, there just keeps being health blocks to having the surgery, and now my funds are low, so we will just have to see. I have to have surgery to replace my heart device soon, so I am gonna ask my cardio- logist if he knows of someone that would be good, and see if I can have both done at the same time. Dr Kolb had said she would take them out, so long as I get cardiac clearance and a good chest x-ray, and the CT I had in March says I have nodules in both lungs now......I tell ya, if it is not one thing its another, all silicone related, I am sure. They are thinking it may be lung cancer, but the nodes are small, and the oncologist said too small to biopsy right now......arent there blood tests that are tumor markers ? ? I dont know, I am kinda stumped right now. I think I am just gonna try to get these implants out at the same time as get the heart device replaced, then go from there. Thank you for asking Bindi, I am sorry to hear you havent felt well lately. You are in my prayers ! Love DedeGas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Dede . . . I might be wrong . . . but I think they can dx lung cancer with a sputum test now. Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Dede, Dang, woman! Gotta get them things out! Can you borrow the $$$ somehow? It's heartbreaking to see you going around in circles trying to deal with stuff that would not be happening if those %# & *! things weren't in there. I know it isn't that simple, but I really hope and pray you find the way out ASAP. Bindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
