C’s doctor called her today with news. That the doctor called was a complete surprise, as we’re not through the two-week wait on biopsy results.
We’re not all done yet, but the news has certainly changed to something else. Here’s what we now know:
- C’s body is doing everything it can to get around the Estrogen blocker drugs and stave off menopause. That’s the root cause for the initial symptoms.
- There’s still something irregular, but it may not be polyps after all. If it IS polyps, then the docs found them accidentally. I say ‘accidentally’ because the initial symptom – bleeding – has turned out to be a red herring.
- The odds that we’re looking at something malignant has just dropped significantly.
C gave me this news as I arrived home this evening. Now, four hours later, I’m thinking more clearly than I have in days. I wonder why that … oh, I know why. I seem able to breathe once again.
