Thank you all for your prayers, I could feel them when I walked in to the office, I felt comfort and serene. You are all so precious to me.
Sorry I did not write earlier, I was out of town after the appointment, we went to Christchurch to do some things and to visit Steve's dad. We normally get home late when we do that.
Well, the appointment was OK, but really, I do not know anything more than I did when I went in.
She wants to wait n the CA125 test, she said if she did it to me now, it would only reinforce my fear of cancer. I disagree, but whatever. She did some other tests to rule out bacterial infections, and wants me to take an antibiotic that kills parasites and bacteria. Well, I am not going to take it, the side effects are way to dangerous and it actually can cause the exact symptoms and problems that she is trying to kill. It is called Flagyl, and I understand in Great Britain, it was discontinued. I did take one, I took it with food as you must take it that way, I got so light headed, I thought my head would fly off, and, I had not even read the side-effects, so, it was not my imagination. So, I have been pretty down all day, I still do not know what is wrong, although, the pain was gone all day today, but, that does not necessarily mean anything good either. I just feel so frustrated.
I am to call her Monday for the results of the swabs. Actually, this drug I was prescribed, says it should never be taken unless it is absolutely necessary, well, she was just guessing I needed it, we won't know until we get the swab results back. If I do not have an infection, and I still hurt, then she will do the CA125 test, she said, that it could come back positive even if I do not have cancer, it seems to pick up other abnormalities as well. UGH. She does not think I have cancer by the way I described the symptoms and the lack of symptoms that would point to having cancer. So, that is good to know at least, but, I am still worried, and she knows that, she knows me well enough already to tell when I will worry.
I like her, she is a good nurse, but, just not for me maybe. I mean, it takes a special doctor to really understand and prescribe for me. I am sort of thinking of maybe going home earlier than May if I can not get good results here. I don't know.
Anyway, that is all I know for now. Thanks for your prayers, I will keep you posted as I find out more.
Hugs and love
Susie
