biopsy results

It's certainly good news about your biopsy results!  I am breathing a huge sigh of relief for you.  I hope that resection won't be necessary.  Where were those squamous cells located exactly?  Do you or your doctors know yet?  I was hoping all questions would be answered for you with this, but I guess with so many of these procedures, the quest for answers leads to more questions.    I hope the next scan will show that whatever is there has decreased in size.

I'm sorry you and your husband had some words.  It happens between my husband and me more often than it used to.  I think it's another one of the fringe "benefits" from cancer.  You will smooth things out and all will be well.  In the meantime, we are always here for you.  Take care, my sweet friend!

amazing

I almost didn't share about the husband thing but listening to what everyone is sharing here, I am so comforted. We have such a strong bond because of our similar experiences. I also believe, Martha, in spite of all the problems it was a gift. I am so much more grateful for every breath and so thankful when I can control my bodily functions all day! The thought of being sick is very frightening to me but not so much with my friends here.

I have researched the Mold culture aspect of what Dr. Lee told me and found out that the chronic mold infection could have caused all my lung problems the ground glass opacity and the mass. It is common in people with immune deficiency but rare in the general population. No wonder Dr. Lee kept his focus there when he spoke with me. That is so treatable. The squamous cells are the only odd ball but sometimes our own immune systems can flush out rogue cells so I am hanging in here hopefully. Hope is part of our anatomy. It functions in a profound manner throughout our lives. I have it again. The infusions should help me with this. My immunoglobulin G level after 6 months of infusions is almost normal now. Wooo hooooo!

I'll definitely make my appointments tomorrow.

Fondly,

Sandy

So glad to hear of your news. We are all hoping for the best possible outcome for you. 

Squamous cells are found in the respiratory & digestive tracts, so I am thinking along the lines of it's ok for them to have been found during this procedure.  You seem to have the best doctors, so you can feel confident that they will work out the most appropriate way forward. I'm not sure, but there's such a thing known as 'farmer's lung' & I think that is linked to mould too. 

Hubby! Well you know the person he is, & for some that is a typical response. My dear friend was awaiting iinvestigation results regarding the confirmation of MND diagnosis. Her partner escaped to Spain. Sadly, the diagnosis was confirmed,  so he had to face it when he returned anyway.  I think I would have at least rippled about your hubby's remark about knowing it would be ok. You see, my point is, if THEY know it, why do the EXPERTS have to bother with investigations? However, having a spat when he's away & knowing the circumstances,   I too would apologise (even if I still felt I was right.....). 

But Sandy, we are all with you & await your postings. Internationally there are few of us, but although small in number, we have a united strength.

A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until you out her in hot water

So glad to hear your biopsy came back negatve What good news, I know you still have to tackle the other obstacles but one step at a time, I had a feeling you would kinow by Tuesday As for hubby, I can relate, they haven't been through what we have so they just "don't get it" I have my scans  this Fri and of course have been on edge so I"m just thinking it's just a matter of time before we have words and when I come home from the scans on Fri, he'll ask "where have you been" ? I just have to let it roll, so I say to you my friend "let it roll" I'm sure he is missing you and needs some time to himself as well. We all handle stress so differently and the closer it gets to Fri the more stressed I'm getting so I need to let it roll till I have answers next week. Hope you have more answers soon, things are looking up from your unknown state last week. xo

Are we married to the same guy?

That has happened to me before! Unbelievable. I am so different. When there is something wrong with him (He was really sick with Lyme disease once) I almost went nuts! He was not diagnosed until he had Bells Palsey and the whole side of his face was paralyzed. I almost took a bat to the doctors office to get him the antibiotics. REALLY - I thought about it - a lot:-)

Hope to see you soon, Lisa. When you get your strength back and come into the city.

Fondly,

Sandy

sandysp, I am so sorry that your testing didn't resolve all issues for you. When you were told squamous cells, were they normal or abnormal?

Whenever I was crabby to my husband over the past few months, he asked me if I needed to take some pain meds! I found it a bit dismissive about half the time, but on target the other half. My husband expressed his fears by hovering over me, practically non-stop, in a smothering way. Maybe yours is expressing (or suppressing) his by trying to get away from the situation. Perhaps he's been thinking about your illness the whole time and working things through in his mind.

My fingers, toes, and eyes are all crossed for you.
