The doctor had to mark where they planned to cut & his initials!
B & M keeping me laughing.
Looks like a good stitch job. No pain, no nausea :) Currently recovering
Praying they didn't cut into the lacrimal gland and that I still have my tears.
BIOPSY RESULTS:
Lots of words I had to google but from a preliminary yes/no type test it does not appear to be lymphoma. HOWEVER it is not an official diagnosis. Official results will be in 6-8 weeks (yay - we like waiting don't we?) Anyhow....the 2nd thing they considered was Sarcoidosis which is inflammation in the lymph nodes. Well they DID find granulomas (clumps of immune cells) which is seen in sarcoidosis HOWEVER they found NECROTIZING granulomas which rules out sacoidosis and now goes into a different possible diagnosis of Tuberculosis which they are sending me to get a chest X-ray for. Normally a skin/blood test can make that call but the steroids I am (YES STILL ON AND ON FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER MONTH) can cause a negative result. SOOOOOO..........they still don't know WHAT I have but in 6-8 weeks they will have matched it up with something in their medical books - UNLESS OF COURSE I am being blessed w/something completely new which they will name after me :) "ah dude sorry to hear you got Sharonosis" SO...until further notice - keep praying :)
