For those of you following along with my health issues
 

We got all of the test results from my first battery of tests back except the blood screens, those take a lot longer to process apparently.

My white blood cell count has returned to normal, my spleen has shrunk 0.5 CM (About a quarter inch), the lymph nodes around my pancreas are no longer showing signs of being enlarged, my liver tested fine, and I'm sure a bunch of other stuff.

All in all, the results were wholly inconclusive, but in this case that's what we wanted to hear. They still suspect Lymphoma, but they aren't making it the prime suspect at this point.

I have to follow up with the specialist again in a month, and then I have to see another specialist in October who will decide what action if any we need to take. I may be subjected to a bone marrow test at that point, but I'm hopeful that things will settle down and I won't need further tests.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes and your friendship through this very trying time, this is my second cancer scare in 2006 and let me tell you, it sure shakes your foundation.

That's good news so far! I'm crossing my fingers for ya!

Take care jact .... keep good news coming.

I had no idea Jact. Sending good wishes from the mountains of GA!

Take care of yourself and think positive thoughts.

I'm with Peaches, I had no clue.

Stay positive, and if you can't, I'm sending some from down here!

Glad so far so good on the negative results!
Anytime you need a smile, you know who to hit up ;)

Be well and remember that to a large extent your health is a reflection of your consistent thoughts. So think of me dancing naked in my banana hammock and you should be fine. =]

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to hear this so far, Joel! Hopefully everything comes back to normal and the conclusion is that LadyM has to stop the 5x daily sex sessions with you and bring it down to 3-4 or the spleen won't be happy again ;) Not trying to make light of it - I'm sure you know that I'm very relieved it's not bad news you bring today!

HUGS from Montreal to both of you!

That's good news Jact! Hopefully the good news won't stop coming!

I hope you get better hun I had no clue.

:)

Glad to hear so far everything is testing out fine.
Cancer scares sure do shake one up
I am going through that myself right now with lung cancer
I should know one way or the other next thursday.

Glad everything is working out. Its horrible to go through this.

i hope the only reason you are waiting for these "specialists" is because they are completely booked.
