Got the results of the PET scan back and not only are the lymph nodes under my left arm "lighting up", but they say there is a spot on my throat that they want me to have checked out.... Off to the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor I go.
He does a flex scope in the office and says that he doesn't see anything that really concerns him, but that I still have my adenoids... Apparently they are no longer needed and usually shrivel up by the time your an adult. He wanted to remove that and have it biopsied. He says it is a quick procedure and done at the day surgery center at the hospital.
Two weeks later, I am having this done. I hate needles and especially IV's. The nice nurse tried the first time and said she hit a valve and couldn't go any further. Then a second, not so nice nurse tried in the other hand... couldn't get it and it hurt so bad I was screaming. They finally wrapped the original hand, my right one, in a warm blanket and got the vein to come to life and finally got it in... That was the worst part of this whole procedure. Everything else was great and we actually did it under like a twilight, were I can hear everything going on.... very interesting.... back to work the next day.
A week later at my post op appointment, the pathology report is clear... Woo Hoo... and no more visiting with the ENT doctor.
