I was referred to an oncologist at the hospital where my pdoc works... I called and set up an appointment for 2 weeks from now. But, as soon as I did that, my pdoc called and told me that she spoke with my gyno and they agreed to call in a prescription for birth control bc the concoction of pills I'm on work off estrogen or something along those lines. My blood work came back after my first appointment and I'm apparently really low on estrogen and they seem to believe that could be what is creating the mass. I've never heard of that as a side effect, but they have the degrees, right??

Btw... I went off the pill for specific reasons. It made me super volatile and unreasonably emotional. Plus, I'm unable to sustain any type of relationship due to my "personality quirks", so it was a useless $60/month spent.

Now, I have up to 11 (not sure, I've seem to have lost count at this point) different meds to fill monthly and the pill is likely to make me be a miserable human. FANTASTIC!!

Once again, sorry for ranting. I'm just super frustrated and scared. Also, irritated about the Effexor bc anything that boosts seratonin makes me either manic or in a mixed state. I told her 3 dfferent times that I do not like SSRI's or SNRI's and she knows in great detail about how I stole a car and decided to drive to another state while on them.

Thank you for your support and I sincerely hope that I am not bombarding or triggering anyone with this tirade. I legitimately have no one to talk to and don't trust talking to anyone given what happened with my so-called bestie last night and I find solace in the anonymity of like minded people. So, once again I thank you guys and feel privileged to be a part of this community.
