I need some good thoughts, please.

[ramanth]

I had my annual GYN visit yesterday. Overall it went well. No lumps in my breast (cancer runs on my dad's side of the family) and my Endometriosis pain has been bearable. So I had nothing to really report to the doc.

But during the exam, I had a sharp pain in my lower right abdomen.

The doctor frowned and said he'd like me to come back in for an ultrasound.

I'm always aware that the Endo is constantly growing inside despite the medication I take. I've always geared myself to the fact that I might have to have another surgery to remove more endo tissue, and even though it's minor surgery, I'd rather not go under the knife again.

I'm not freaking out, but when a doctor says he's mildly concerned, then you can't help but worry a little.

My ultrasound appointment is scheduled for next Friday.

I like this doctor and trust his intuition. He's the same doctor that believed me when I felt Kia was onto something when she was acting strange around me. Hence the first surgery and having my appendix removed.

Just hoping for good thoughts that all goes well.

I think it is just normal if you don't like someone to cut around- I would be worried sick (I am not the doc's best friend- just like the furries:D ).

So we hope it stays " a mild concern" and nothing more.:)

[wolflady]

Good thoughts are on the way from me too. Things like this can be so scary, so I hope that everything turns out ok.

**hugs**

Kimmy, just think how relieved you will be when that ultra sound results comeback with no problems seen. If by the odd chance there is a problem, you will have caught it early. It's going to be okay!!!!

Positive thoughts are on their way! Aren't we all glad that thinks like MRI and Ultrasound exist? One never hears the term "exploratory surgery" any more!

[gini]

Dear Kim, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

I will think good thoughts and say a prayer for you that this is absolutely nothing.

Do keep us posted - because all of us will worry about you.

xxoo

[RobiLee]

Lots of good thoughts and healing vibes coming your way, Kim!

[cyber-sibes]

((((((hugs)))))) good thoughts and prayers coming your way. At least you will get a better idea what if anything is going on after the ultrasound. Try not to worry!

[K9karen]

Poor you, Kimmy. I feel your worry. I had endometriosis for years before it was properly diagnosed. There are lots of new meds and methods today that don't involve surgery. After my laproscopy, I opted for BC pills, as much as I hated taking them, but the result was amazing. Lots of prayers that you feel better soon .

Yeah, my surgery a few years ago diagnosed the Endo. I've been taking BC pills back to back to control the pain and it's been helping a lot.

But even then the doc said I might have to have another surgery in the future to "clean me out", so to speak.

Thing is, both my doc and I know that Endo does not show up on an ultrasound, so if he felt something suspicious and wants to do an ultrasound....one wonders. :\

But I'm not overly stressed. I've just got fingers crossed that it's nothing. :)

[QueenScoopalot]

Hmmm sharp pain..lower right abdomen could also be apendix! :eek: :eek: :eek: Unless of course it's already been removed. Better safe than sorry, and sure hope THAT was brought up. Not anything to mess with when it comes to the appendix. ;) :(

[shais_mom]

on the way for you Kimmy!

[K9karen]

Geesh, I could swear my Endo was finally diagnosed by an ultrasound (32 oz of water!) as well as an exam cause they thought it was the Big C at first, that's how bad it was, hence my surgery. Plus I passed out on the street in downtown Philly once from the pain. Mine was on my other organs as well so they couldn't do anything. I was so lucky that the BC pills worked. I had some lumps too but they were nothing. I'm sure yours are nothing too! Let me tell you, one benefit of aging is having the "spigots" turned off for good! I did a happy dance! I just had a hysteroscopy to check for cervical cancer as I had had cells removed, but I'm fine. What we women don't have to fo through. Better to be safe than sorry, Kimmy. I know in my heart you'll be just fine!

Nope, not my appendix! It was so badly wrapped up by endo that they removed it along with the endo tissue in my last laproscopic surgery. :D

So thankfully I don't have to worry about that rupturing. :)

[ramanth]

My ultrasound came back a-okay.

He suspected the lump near my ovary was my colon but wanted to do an ultrasound to make sure. Sure enough... it was! It was full of "stuff" when I had my annual exam, hence the lumpiness. :eek:

I'm full of s**t as my dad puts it. ;)

Thanks for all the good vibes! Ya'll are the best. *HUGS*

:D

[petslover]

Glad you are okay!
