If Things Could Get Worse...

I guess they have. I got some results today and was immediately called by my endo. I guess you could say that was a bit weird since I am always fighting for attention with these docs. She said she had some of my labs back and I said not all so she indicated it was enough to make the call and get things rolling. My urinary cortisol level was extremely high and I was so excited I spit out - Yeah, I'm finally screwed up enough for surgery. My doctor stopped me and told me not to get too excited because she has some bad news, I thought she was going to say that I wasn't sick enough for surgery yet.

But it was worse. My CAT scan was also sent back with an alert atttached to it indicating prompt attention is required! I mubbled like, what, it's fine right, thinking finally I have Cushing's and can get cured. Wrong, well not exactly. I have Cushing's but I have two tumors causing my illness and there is a very strong possiblity of cancer as well. I have a tumor larger than a golf ball behind my breast bone. Yes a tumor in my chest which is usually cancereous - about 90% of the time. So I have Cushing's and probably cancer. My endo called the pulminary specialist and told them about me and then had me call to get an appointment. The pulminologist pulled up my CAT scan and is having me come in for an emergency appointment this afternoon which will be followed by a biopsy.

I'm about scared shitless right now and can barely breath. Just when I was at a point of being able to deal with Cushing's I get thrown even more problems and opnes that are likely serious. I'll try to keep writing to keep you all abreast of the situation but I'm sure you can imagine how I feel right now and just breathing has to be a priority.

Okay, off to find something else to occupy my mind till the appointment...FUDGE!!!
