Now we know!

Remember a few posts back here?  #4 was a BIG concern.  Well, we have some answers.  All the "lovely" tests that need to be done and the results are in. 

1- Mammogram - gave us a bit of a concern and wound up having to have an ultrasound to clarify some things they spotted on the gram.  All is well, just some fibroids. 

2- Pap test results - All clear!! 

3 - CA 125 blood test (cancer marker test I have to get because of my family history with my Mom) Looks great!!  Waaaayyy under the "line" where we would be concerned.

4- Ultrasound of the pelvis area.  Ummm, that's where the problem is!  Without going into details (that could gross some people out) I was having some changes in my monthly cycle that just could not be passed off as "usual for my age".  I have a great gyn doctor that truly LISTENS!!  She found some polyps on my uterus.  If that's tmi for you then just move along and don't finish reading.  If you are interested in learning more you can go here.  But just so you know, I am heading into an outpatient surgery in a few hours.  The doctor wants to remove the polyps and get them under a microscope just to confirm that they are benign.  She's very confident that they are benign since all my other tests have come back so healthy.

SO prayers and good thoughts are always welcome.

And this picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post.  Well, except to remind me to tell you all about San Francisco when I get back.
