Today took FOREVER…even though the appointment was in the morning, the uneasy feeling made it seem like a lifetime!
The appointment was virtual. My mom and I handled as we do most virtual appointments…she calls me from the house phone and has me on speakerphone as I listen in.
We waited another eternity for the Doctor to pop in. It was like 15 minutes, but still…be on time on results day please!
He started talking about what he was testing for and where was done. In my head…dude…get to the important part. He finally says what we had been believing in God for…the pathology came back benign. #Hallelujah They did see, however, what he’s assessing is sarcoidosis. This is an inflammatory disorder that can affect other organs outside of the lungs. It’s something he will monitor with periodic testing. The good news (yep, more good news), she wasn’t symptomatic. Sometimes things are found because they have a reason to look (e.g. symptoms) and sometimes they happen to find it when routinely checking on something else. We know the latter all too well because Arnold was found due to a CT of the head to rule out a stroke.
So, while there is a new discovery with the sarcoidosis diagnosis, I’m overjoyed that my mom does not have lung cancer. Another cancer diagnosis would have rattled the very case that’s just being out back together again. #IBetterStopWorrying #GodKeepsShowingMeHesHere #NotGettingMoreThanImBuiltFor #ThankYouJesus
My mom and I took the win! Now, time to celebrate…safely!
