Tomorrow - A Visit to a Neurosurgeon

Incredibly Good Results
So Far, All we have is "A Really Good Set of Healthy Test Results"

Dr S wants me to talk with Dr D -- who works on parts of the body near nerves -- like my lower spine.

Good idea! Though I feel already like the toothache patient with no pain -- making an appointment to go sit in the chair just to see if we can make it twinge a bit -- just to find out if there is any reason to do some work on the tooth.

What was it that caused the really nasty nerve pain just a month ago? I dunno. The cortico-steriod (dexamethasone) treatment worked. The high dose narcotics (oxycodone) gave me time to let them work.

The biopys samples do not give a clue -- not from the blood cells -- not from the tissue slides.

 The CT scan, the PET scan, the blood tests, the urine tests, they are all negative for signs of myeloma.

The PET scan reveals only a very LOW level of activity right there in my sacrum -- and not ANYWHERE else.

So let's go talk to somebody who could have an idea what it is. Let's hear what he's figured out!

The appointment is tomorrow, Friday, the 26th of March, 2010 at 8:15 AM.

Ciao!
