Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Everyone I'm having outpatient surgery this Friday afternoon. I have some kind of large tumor, cyst, or some kind of polyp in my left nostril. I can barely breathe through that nostril, it's so large. The ENT says, he doesn't believe that is a polyp, because it's very hard. A polyp should be soft. But, he won't truly know until he gets in there. The sinus CT scan yesterday, shows that the the growth might be connected to the bone. He has never seen anything like it. He does not believe that it is cancer, because it isn't eating anything, just growing. He is hoping that he can simply cut it and it will plop out. If it looks beyond his expertise, he will immediately send me to a larger hospital, perhaps Missoula. Leave it to me to have something weird. My nurse practitioner, thought it was a polyp see she was treating it with Nasonex. I have had other benign cysts here and there, one on my left breast, one on my back, and years ago, one on my right ovary. Each of these were benign. So it seemed that this was too. We have gone past the catastrophic limit on our medical insurance so with luck everything will be covered. I called and the doctor is covered, and so is the hospital. I would appreciate your kind thoughts, and to those who pray, prayer too. I will let you know how everything goes. I won't know the results of the test is completed on Monday to be certain that it is benign. Kaylene Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
