in Colorectal Cancer #1
I've been experiencing some problems with my throat. It seems like during times of the day it seems like there is something there that keeps me swallowing to get it down. Sometimes it works and other times swallowing doesn't. I've been put on an antibiotic for sinus, but it doesn't seem to help much. I'm scared as I've been to a "Minute Clinic" and it was a NP not a very good person to being diagnosing you and she commented that it could be something serious since I've had cancer, of course she was commenting and then it puts it in my head. Have an appointment in the morning with an ENT and he will do a scope. Please say a prayer for a great outcome. I'm tired of being scared all the time. Surely doesn't do my BP any good.

Hugs! Kim

    Praying is nothing serious
    This crazy cancer is something else...we never know what is going to happen next. I've been having a prostate infection and on antibiotics for that but worry it will develop into something more serious. Our minds are always racing and most of the times it is nothing. Praying for you and everyone else fighting this terrible cancer.

    healthy vibes coing your way
    Hi Kim,

    Yes we always worry and expectt the worsed. I do also and special at night in bed. I have been having bladder infections for no apparent reason. So.... I am thinking of something more serious also. Did another CEA test today to see were I am at. Walked out the lab and a gushers down my arm, you would have thought I was slaughtered in there.
    What a mess, now is the waiting game.

    Prayers and healthy vibes are coming your way hoping that it is nothing serious.
    Better to have it looked after then to wait.
    Hugs,Marjan

    Just wanted to add my good vibes for your doctor visit. Hoping it's just part of your sinus problems. Don't let that "worry bug" get you down.

    Luv,

    Infection
    Praying for your infection to go away. We always worry about things developing into something worse. My immune system never bounced back so that always worries me too. Hoping you get better very soon.

    Appointment
    Went this morning and he said that there is no tumor (he knew I was concerned) just a lot of swelling from the throat due to an upper respitory infection earlier this month, sinus infection, acid reflux and allergies. He is putting me on steroids and warned my husband "they will make her cranky and hungry." :) Thanks for the prayers and good vibes everyone. Geez our minds tend to get the best of us sometimes. To all of you fighting infections and going through treatments you are always in my thoughts and prayers.

    Thanks for reporting back
    Thanks for reporting back Kim. Boy, it is so hard not to worry and assume the worst isn't it. Glad it all turned "fixable."
