We've been to Mt. Isa hospital again, and I've had my test results back from the CT scan I had on my adrenal glands. The doctors found a very small tumor on my adrenal gland, only about 0.6mm in size. The medical team who consult with the surgeons and medical team in Townsville did not believe this alone was the cause of my symptoms, so they sent me for urgent CT scans on both my brain and lungs, they thought they'd find more, larger tumors on one or the other scan, THANK GOD they did NOT find anymore tumors. After further tests, blood and urine, they now believe there isn't enough evidence to show that this small tumor is causing the symptoms I have.
So now we are kind of back to square one...
There has been some confusion with one of my tests, one would prove that this tumor could be the cause of all my symptoms, but if the test results are wrong, then it proves nothing, ARGHHHH!
Most of the results of most of the tests show nothing negative and no real reason for what is happening to my body. Some of my symptoms a just crazy. I have the ones I've listed before, like anxiety, lack of appetite, at times racing heart, breathlessness, many other weird symptoms and at the same time during all these symptoms, about 1 month or so ago I had to have a golf ball sized boil removed from my body (a big OUCH) and more recently my right foot ballooned, it just swelled and caused quite a bit of pain for no reason I know of and I could barely walk on it for days, ARGGHHHH!
Anyway, there is nothing much I can do about it.
No one really knows why all this is happening to my body. It was suggested that maybe it could be environmental since there are alot of minerals in the ground, I wouldn't drink the water here again and Mt. Isa has a constant cloud of sulphate in the sky, so who knows, maybe the best treatment for me would be to leave the area, haha, you never know!
For now I'm on a few different medications to help with a few of my symptoms, I have pretty normal days for days in a row and then I can have pretty yucky days...we just take it as it comes for now. I do hate the not knowing what is causing all this, but it's out of my hands, worrying about it won't change a thing, so we'll just see what happens in the future.
We've been told to have some of my tests repeated in about 6 months to see if anything has changed, so we will make sure to do that!
Other than that, we are mostly well. We've all had a bit of gastro and the flu recently and are all mostly over that. We are still enjoying beautiful, clear blue skies here in Cloncurry. The weather is mostly in the late 20's to early 30's at the moment. We usually have clear, cool, starry nights, it's just beautiful! That's why it gets so busy up North in the winter, North Queenslands winter has to be some of the best weather we've experienced, it's BEAUTIFUL!
Hope all is well with everyone xo
Take care,
Love Dimi
