Hoping for the best

Back to the doctor today, about the mole. I hope that there is a result one way or another. The suspense is just wearing.

Back from the doctor. test results still aren't in. She was very apologetic but there really isn't much either one of us can do but wait.

Here’s a bit of good news. I saw the rheumatologist today. After blood testing results & a thorough exam, he was able to conclude that I do NOT have RA.

Great news!

Yes, I am relieved, though I still don't know what is causing so much pain in such an absurd spot (middle joint of my right pinky). It makes even less sense knowing I am left-handed.

The doctor did give me a cortisone shot- not fun to get, but hopefully it wlll relieve the inflammation.

Have you been tested for gout?

Have you been tested for gout?

Yes; also negative.

Still waiting on that test result. But some other good news. I saw the oncologist today. It's been nearly 5 years since my lumpectomy. No recurrence, so I can stop the meds in the summer (the actual 5 year point) and only come to see her once a year.

That’s good news. My wife is a little over 6 years now, hers is a little more complicated so her annual testing is a bit more detailed but now that she’s 6 years clear they are going every 2 years on some tests.

That is wonderful news, Sara - glad to hear it.
