Another 6 months (actually 7) have rolled around and it's time for my follow-up appointment with Dr. Wilkinson. I had a few questions for her today and when she came in to chat with me I immediately spoke about those crazy tests I took a 6 months ago. The MRI which started the drama with a lesion on my spine which turned in to a CAT and Bone scan. So much stress and worry turned out to be nothing so I asked...do you think the lesion was nothing since MRIs sometimes are super sensitive? She looked over the report and noticed that the CAT and Bone scan tech never mentioned the lesion so does that mean nothing was seen on the scans or was the tech only looking for cancer, not a lesion??? So what now? Dr. Wilkinson said she would reach out to the radiology office to find out more information. Kind of wonder why she didn't do that months ago? I know, she has new patients she needs to focus her attention on but I'm still not out of the woods yet. Yes, I'm a survivor and very happy to be one but if I'm correct, I'm not fully out of the woods till I hit the 5 year survivor mark. And right now, I'm at 2 1/2 years. The 1/2 way mark. :)
Anyway, I left somewhat happy. I'm happy she felt no lumps. I'm happy she had a smile on her face but I don't know, just not sure I'm 100% happy with not having all my questions answered about the tests. I guess I'll just call it a 50/50 appointment.
