Biopsy

I had my lymph node biopsy yesterday afternoon. The worst part was the waiting. My appointment was for 1:30. I finally got the first needle in the neck after 3pm. My neck hurt a good bit yesterday, today it's just uncomfortable. My Mom took us out for ice cream afterwards. I should have results in a week. I am determined to get good news! Sorry I haven't been posting much...just feeling down in the dumps about my neck nonsense.

Test results

Good news: my thyroglobulin test came back as "undectected" which means there are presumably no thyroid cells running around in my body.
Not-so-good news: my doctor is still worried about my strangely large (and continuing to grow) lymph nodes. She has decided I needed a biopsy. So next week I am going to have a big f*@$ needle in my neck to check it all out.

I'm trying to look at this as good news, but I can't help but be scared of what they might find. I didn't sleep at all last night and I'm super tired and stressed out today so that makes it hard to be rational.

It's hard to be supermom when you feel poopy or are worried about something so huge. But I'm plugging on. Daughter loves school and I'm finally okay with her going. It was sooo hard for me the first few days. I love picking her up because she is so excited to see me. Son seems to also like school and is trying much harder this year to get those grades he is capable of. I'm proud of them both.

I love my classes. They are both quite challenging and homework heavy, but I'm excited about learning new things.
