A couple month ago I had my routine physical including a chest exray. All my bloodwork came back really good. No diabetes, cholesteral got much better. But they found a spot on my lungs. I am a long time smoker who has tried to quit many times. My dr thought it was probably just some scarring, but sent me for a CT scan. Results of the CT said that it might be inflammation, but not sure and that while doing it they found a 3cm tumor on my adrenal gland. Dr said it was probably nothing, but put me on antibiotics and set me for another CT on 7/1. They made me drink all this stuff and I got so sick. Well I am waiting on my results. I don't know whether to be worried or not. Sometimes I think it is my time to go as I have been so miserable over the last several years with all this going on with dd and gc. But my real fear is what will happen to these kids. Yes, my husband is here, but can he really do it on his own? If I was like my dd, I would not worry about the kids. But then she has us to take care of them. I hope everything comes out ok as I don't think my gs could take this kind of stress too.
