Prayers Please

[MandMnmbr3]

Hi Everyone,
I know I have been MIA from the forum for awhile, I have been really busy with the babies. Plus we all came down with a nasty flu that lingers!

On Friday I FINALLY got a call back from the endocrinologist office about my blood work I had done on my thyroid back in April. All of it came back normal but the Dr wants me to have a biopsy on the nodules on my thyroid to rule out cancer! The referral was sent out Friday. I should hear back in 1-2 weeks then be able to schedule to have the biopsy done. I won't know the results for 3-4 weeks after that.

I am asking for your prayers for good results. I have a family history of thyroid cancer, so I a bit unnerved.

Thank!! Ya'll are the best!!!

Hugs,
Mae

Mae, prayers and well wishes for good results are going out to you right now. If there is anything I can do, I am here. HUGS.

[mkrebecca]

Oh----Mae, I pray that everything will be just fine with those tests!!! Have faith!!!!!

[mood4amelody]

I'm sure the doctor is just doing precautionary testing because of the family history, since all the bloodwork was good. HUGS!! I will pray for you all the same and then some, 'cause prayers never hurt and can only add to the richness in your life. ;) Love ya, Sis.

You have a good doctor going the extra mile to give you piece of mind.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[mood4amelody]

Boy, Mae. I'm going to have to wrangle your phone number out of you or something! You are just worrying me to death not updating us! :eek: I know, I worry. I'm pretty good at though and I'd hate to try to deny a God-given talent and all. :rolleyes: lol

[MandMnmbr3]

Thank you ALL for your kinds words, thoughts, and most of all prayers!!!

I'm sorry Lynne, for not keeping you all updated. We have been going through a vicious cycle of the flu. Get rid of it or at least we think we have for a couple of days, then sick again!! UGH!!!:eek: Windows are all open, and Lysol has been sprayed throughout the house!

I haven't received my referral yet, so that's it for an update.

Hugs & Love to you all,
Mae

[mood4amelody]

Hope you beat the heck out of that flu and scared it away for good! Don't forget to make sure if you have a wastebasket in the restroom to empty it A LOT when you or your family is sick. All the nose-blown tissues that can accumulate just keep everyone getting sick over and over.

I'm glad you all are better!!! Were the little boys sick, too? Bless all ya'alls hearts!! HUGS!!!!

Thanks sis!!! Yep, already emptied both waste baskets in both bathrooms today!! :D Then sprayed them with Lysol, put in new trash bags, washed my hands, and used Purell!! LOL!

Hi Carol,
Thanks for asking! I'm hanging in there. I go on Tuesday to have a biopsy on my thyroid. I posted it in this thread My Apponntment (http://forums.startsampling.com/showthread.php?t=17075&page=2)

I've been so busy with the babies that I rarely have computer time. Usually at night but I'm too tired to get online!!

Hugs,
Mae

[ALawicki]

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! My family has a history of this also, but I have never thought about it. I am sure that with all these prayers, no matter what the results say, you will be ok. I know its hard, but try not to stress it.:o

[NancyBJ]

Positive thoughts and prayers coming your way...after I had my youngest I had the same thing happen to me (I was OK- just monitored for years and finally I just had the thyroid removed!)

Let us know how you are doing and how the results come back!

{{{{Hugs}}}}
Nancy :)

[MandMnmbr3]

Thank you Ashley and Nancy. I am really trying not to stress but you know how that goes. :rolleyes: I just can't for tomorrow to be over!

I'll post my results as soon as I know.

Hugs,
Mae

[NancyBJ]

Mae,
I'm going to the beach tommorow- I'll try to check in before we leave...I want to know you are Ok before I go (We won't have internet access down there :( )...we come back on Wed. night -late of next week so if you don't here from me until then (really Thurs Morning) don't think I don't care or feel off the earth...I'm just not near a computer.

I'll still be sending you a ton of positive thoughts and prayers from Bethany Beach....

{{{{{Hugs}}}}}
Nancy :)

[MandMnmbr3]

Thank you ALL so much for your prayers, thoughts, and well wishes.

Nancy, I hope you have a WONDERFUL time at the beach, sounds like so much fun!!

I had the biopsy yesterday morning. The Dr did it with a local anesthetic. He didn't want to put me under general because my blood pressure was very high!! First time it was taken it was 213/98, the nurse said she thought there was something wrong with the cuff, she got another one and it was 176/100 and stayed there the whole time I was in the hospital. I think it was high because I did not sleep well the night before, and I was stressing about having the procedure done.

The procedure took about 20 minutes to do. It felt like a lot of pressure, like when you go to the dentist. They did find one "hot spot" yesterday during the biopsy and collected cells from it to be tested. Both of my Dr's should have the results in 2 weeks.

I was put on bed rest yesterday, had to lay on my right side all day, I cannot turn my head to the left for 2 days, I had to keep an icepack on my neck yesterday, have keep the incision covered with a bandaid for 4-5 days, and was told NO lifting of anything for 2-3 days.

The Dr and nurse asked me if I was in any pain before I left and I said no. Dr asked if I wanted any pain medication before I left, and a prescription for one and I said I don't think I will need it. He said OK, you can take Tylenol if you need to but ONLY Tylenol, since Motrin, Advil, and Aspirin can cause you to bleed internally. I've really had no pain, I just feel sore, kinda like a sore throat sore when you swallow.

Eileen (the nurse who was with me during the procedure) called me this morning to see how I was feeling and if I was in any pain. I told her I was feeling fine, and not in any pain just a little sore. She said, "Oh my honey you are such a trooper!"

LOL... right now one of the triage nurses called to see how I am doing.

As soon as I know the results I'll let you all know.

Once again, thank you all for your support, prayers and kind words.

Hugs,
Mae

Mae,

I'm glad the procedure went smoothly for you! Your nurse sounds very kind! That was very sweet of her to call you at home and check on you :) Glad to hear you aren't in any serious pain. You take it easy like the Doc says and just let us know when you find out what the results are! I will be hoping and praying for nothing but good news!!

{{{{{Hugs}}}}}

Jess :)

[Cpogie]

Oh Mae, I am so glad that part (yesterday) is over for you, I thought about you all day yesterday and even when I woke up during the night. HUGS!!!! and more prayers for everything to be just fine.

Awww Carol, your so sweet!! I tried to sneak on the computer yesterday after we got home, but the Warden (DH) told me I needed to rest like the Dr said!!! :rolleyes: Thank you for your continued prayers.

Hugs,
Mae

[wbarker]

Mae,

It is so good to hear from you! We were all praying for you, and hopefully you will get the results back sooner than the 2 weeks!

I'm glad you aren't in pain, and that the doctor and nurses were nice. Make sure you listen to their advice for taking it easy!

Hugs - Wendi

[2550]

Mae-
Glad your procedure is over. Only good news awaits! You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

[SSIAnkie]

Sending up prayers for you, Mae. Wishing you the best!

[momsangel]

Mae

I'm glad the test is over and will have positive thoughts for the results for you!!

Will be thinking of you! HUgs

[twowhit]

Mae, I'm glad you had minimal pain with the biopsy procedure. I'm praying the results come back negative, & your life will soon be back to "normal". In the meantime take advantage of the "I need to rest" & let yourself be spoiled by your family. ;)

[MandMnmbr3]

Thank you all once again for your prayers and well wishes. I have been taking it easy.

I called my primary Dr and made a follow-up appt. I can't get in to see her until Aug 28!! :eek: Her nurse told me if there are ANY cancellations before that date she has that appt flagged for me and will call and offer it to me.

Thanks again ladies!

Hugs,
Mae

[MandMnmbr3]

Well... after starting this process almost 1 year ago I should have the results of my thyroid biopsy on Monday!

I'm so sick of all the garbage and waiting for referrals from our HMO to be approved! The last referral took over a month to get approved! :eek:

I'll post what my results are.

Thank for all once again for your prayers.

Hugs,
Mae

[Cpogie]

Mae, I just have a feeling everything is ok. If that doctor made you wait 2 weeks for any bad news I am coming down there and hurt that doctor so bad he will need a doctor to repair his personal parts.

I'm praying for the very best outcome. Hugs.

[SSIAnkie]

Wishing you the best! I am sure things will go well for you on Monday! Insurance companies are a pain, aren't they? You will be in my prayers. Get some rest and feel better soon!

[Motherofthree]

Keep you chin up girl. 1yr!!! Wow! That's a long time! Praying that the results are negative and that everything will turn out okay.. (((HUGS)))
