phone call December 8, 2011

i left a voice mail with my OB/GYN last week informing him that my tummy pain has gotten worse.  we started hormone therapy a couple months ago and it started to help with the pain!!… but starting around the beginning of thanksgiving week the pain has gotten worse.  it’s kept me up at night, surprised me at work, and interfered with my exercise.  i’ve taken ibuprofen but it didn’t really help.  it got so bad i almost went into the ER, but just pushed through the pain cuz i knew it’d be pointless to go.

 

so after i told dr. sanchez that when he called me back, he said “ok, well it sounds like i’ll need to operate and do a laparoscopy.  your other option is depo lupron, which is an injection you’ll get once a month for 6 months.  this injection will pretty much wipe out your estrogen for 3 weeks at a time.  yes, there are many side affects, but it is safe cuz we’d only do it for 6 months.  however, the laparoscopy will be a better option because it’s not too risky of a surgery, but all surgery has it’s risks, and then we’ll finally be able to look in there and see what you really have.  and i’ll also pull some biopsys while i’m in there.  so review those two options and get an apointment with me asap and we’ll set one of those two up for you.”

 

wow.  that through me for a lil loop.  but i knew he’d mention surgery cuz we discussed that in our last appt.  so i have an appointment tomorrow at 10:45am to discuss everything with him.  my mommy will be there with me!  i’ll fill ya’ll in asap.

 

a ginormous hug would sure be nice right about now.
